Lunch Bits – Edition 24

We went to PF Chang and Islands last week. The days were sunny and cool, when we talked about:

Beijing Olympics
- Track and Field: Jamaican runners ruled. Also, the #1 marathon runner from Kenya must have felt good during the last 10 miles in the stadium with 10,000+ people cheering on.
- Volleyball: watch indoor volleyball or beach volleyball? Split 50-50.
- Badminton: Indonesia actually won a gold medal!
- Gymnastics: the Chinese team seem too young (14 year olds). Clearly violating the IOC rules.
Vacation plans and destinations. Co-worker explored the mid-west. I plan on visiting Seattle and Vancouver.
Irvine housing market. Time to buy when median home prices dropped as much as 34% since last year. Or wait until ARM foreclosures hit in early 2009.
