So another normal day at the office, a not so normal evening. Mary and I arrived home shortly before seven as she and Alasdair were hosting a dinner party for some friends of theirs. The first guests arrived around 7:30. Nicolette and her boyfriend Andy sold Emerald Valley Villa to Mary and Alasdair recently. Mr. LeBeau would have loved the conversation, as much of it had to do with geography and I didn't really try in his class. Lots of talk about the real estate around Australia and I couldn't even point to anything else that continent besides Sydney. The other couple to join in dinner was an old colleague of Alasdair's at Jardine Matheson. Just about all of the conversation had to do with geography of some sort and I realized how much of a different track in life I am on. Numbers are my thing, but not when it comes to finances. At one point I was asked, "So Trey, is engineering just a degree and then you'll move onto investment banking?" I thought he was joking, but apparently not. Oh well. Politics and gossip were on the table all evening. I love gossip, but I had no clue what any of it was about. But hey, I enjoyed everything they said and we even got a good discussion on why Obama is horrible, so the night had a great end to it.
Notes for today:
Read the finical section more in the paper.
Host more dinner parties.
