Last night it was hot, so we slept under a single sheet with the window open and the fan on half the night. I kept having to get up because Simon was restless and being naughty, and finally I gave him the boot around 6am. As I lay there in the greyness, falling in and […]

Last night I went to the Tuesday night martial arts (Bujinkan) class for the first time. Unlike the small, four-person or so Sunday class, there were about fifteen or so participants in the dojo, most with black belts.

After breakfast on Saturday, the five of us and Pablo and Lisa’s doggie Siri drove out to the nearby lake. The sun was right overhead, and only getting hotter. At the east shore, we rented a couple of canoes and rowed out into the cloudy green water. I don’t like being in canoes, but I […]

Friday night, Brian and some friends and I went camping in Livermore near a small lake in the country. We arrived at our site after dark and set about pitching tents and building the fire. As the moon rose, we made hot dogs and s’mores, and sat around our fire until after midnight. Four of […]

For a few years now, I’ve been wanting to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. On Monday, Brian and I did just that. We took the 76 bus from downtown SF all the way out to the Marin side of the bridge and started walking. Marin was sunny as usual, and a long stretching band […]

I’ve felt so lazy all week. I don’t know what it is. Last night after work I went out to dinner with Tamara. We had sushi at a place near my house and walked around afterward. I bought Simon a catnip cigar toy and we watched him totally lose his mind on it. After Tamara […]
