Playing Hooky.

Or, rather, going on a job interview.

No CUESA today. Lunch, instead, at the newly opened Cocina Poblana in Jack London Square, where the service is a work in progress, but the food is fast, fresh, and delicious. Because I was attempting to be my sober best self, in conversation with potential employers, I had no opportunity to sample one of the hundreds of tequilas lined up behind the bar. One of these evenings, though, it'll be just the place to meet a friend for a drink.

Don't want to jinx anything, but I really really really really want this job. I got back in the car and turned on the radio to KFOG where they're playing their library in alphabetical order, and heard "Sugar Magnolia," then "Sugar Mountain," then "Sugaree." If that's not a good omen, I don't know what is.
