no mexican food (almost)...

i was craving mexican food last night... (mexican food is roboto's fuel of choice)... so the mrs. and i drove out to chipotle (not very authentic, but good, nonetheless). it was closed because they didn't have enough employees to open the store due to the immigration rallies. so we walked down the road to santiago's... also closed. we had to settle for a place called "casa margarita." ugh.

i'm thinking of reorganizing my basement/office. i have to clean-up for the in-law visit this weekend, might as well move some furniture around while i'm at it.

oh yeah, and the in-law visit. dad-in-law wants to have a talk with me about my career (or lack thereof). i am not looking forward to that talk. howard schultz, ceo of starbuck's, tells a story about when he was first getting involved with the small coffee company. at the time, starbuck's was a local distributor of gourmet coffee. schultz had the idea of turning it into the walk-in, one-on-every-block coffe house that it is today, but it took a couple years to get it off the ground. anyways, during that planning/early-development phase, schultz's father-in-law asked howard to go on a walk with him. and on that walk he asked him when he was going to give up his "coffee hobby" and find a "real job."

it would be nice if i was in the middle of incubating a multi-million dollar idea for my own father-in-law lecture. i have three days... any ideas?
