Eating at Delancy Street Restaurant and challenging Steph’s typing skills
Last night Stephanie and I rounded up some more people up in San Francisco for our weekly dinner-get-together-thing that we’re trying to do on a regular basis. If you can think all the way back to a week ago you might remember us visiting Farmer Brown for the last go ’round. We had a ton of fun last week and this this time turned out to be more of the same, which was great.
Our choice for dinner was a place down the street a few blocks that my friends Ben and Redgie suggested. They became a much-welcomed addition to the trio of Me, Stephanie and Jacob about 10 minutes before we were taking off thanks to some impromptu instant messaging. Their destination of choice was called Delancey Street Restaurant, which they claimed to not only be tasty, but cheap as well - a ‘double-whammy’ as we like to call it. Delancey Street Restaurant is not only a place with great food, but it is also a place with a great mission as it is a part of the larger overall Delancey Street Foundation who are ‘the country’s leading residential self-help organization for substance abusers, ex-convicts, homeless and others who have hit bottom.’ Simply put, the Delancey Street Foundation, including the restaurant that we were eating at, is fully staffed with people who have basically hit rock bottom and need a way to get back on track. So, whenever you eat there, you not only get some good, cheap food but you also get to help out a foundation that’s doing some amazing work in the community.
Jacob and Ben attack the tasty dessert. It didn’t stand a chance.
The food was delicious, the conversation spectacularly interesting and soon Stephanie, Ben and I grabbed a quick cab back to my office so that I could grab my stuff and we could grab the CalTrain back to Palo Alto. The CalTrain ride is about an hour long in the evenings(in the morning I take an express train) so usually I’ll jump on my laptop to pass the time and here lately I’ve been learning how to type the correct way by taking free online courses over on GoodTyping.com. It’s true, I’ve never learned how to type the ‘right’ way, which is amazing considering that I’m on a computer like 95% of my life. We’ll get into that more later on, but all you need to know is that on the way home I challenged Stephanie to a type-off and she seems to be a little better at typing than I am. I decided to get the good old-fashioned butt-whoopin’ on video so check it out below or over here on YouTube. She made me look pretty bad, but I’m just learning…give me a few months.

Seriously? You never learned how to type? How did that slip by?
Yeah man, I never learned how to type the right way, which is just crazy. I’m learning though and before you know it I’ll be tearing this keyboard up!
It’s actually amazing how much better I’ve gotten in just a few weeks. Rockin’ out the R’s and U’s right now, but I almost have them taken care of.
I’m glad your finally learning how to type. I’m in the 40wpm group right now.. In high school I was up around 70. I’m glad you are on your way!
