San Francisco, California

August 26, 2017

 



Lisa nailed it with my birthday present. Not only did she fly herself out to California for the weekend (which would have been great on its own), but she got tickets for us to attend a live taping of my favorite podcast, The West Wing Weekly, in San Francisco.

The show's hosts -Josh Malina and Hrishikesh Hirway - were joined by series creator Aaron Sorkin to talk in depth about the final episode of Season 3. Surprise guests were Allison Janney and Melissa Fitzgerald.

We got there early and had a great dinner and excellent seats at the sold-out show. It was special and funny and wonderful.

Afterwards Lisa got to meet one of her favorites, Janet Varney, who has her own podcastSF Sketchfest. And then Lisa and her mom ("hey, that's me!) got a shout-out on that podcast the following week.

As we were leaving the theater, Josh Molina was exiting too. "This is my birthday present," I said. "Can I get a picture with you?"

"I feel like you could do a lot better..." he joked.

Nope, I don't think so. The whole evening was perfect.
