i'll make them usable later. get to meet a friend from high school for dinner (shawn's coming, too)

san francisco

while we don't live IN san francisco, we live near enough to go into the city for dinner whenever we want (we met friends at this amazing Chinese restaurant called Old Mandarin there Wednesday night) and actually the lady from whom we're buying the golf is in san francisco.

i'm a bit bummed, however, that i won't get to vote for mayor in the upcoming November elections. check out this list of who's running for mayor:

Candidates in the Nov. 6 San Francisco mayor's race:
Harold Brown, retired teacher and blogger
George Davis, nudist activist
Tony Hall, former supervisor
Lonnie Holmes, San Francisco Juvenile Probation Department manager
Harold Hoogasian, flower shop owner
Grasshopper Kaplan, taxi driver
Quintin Mecke, program director for the nonprofit Safety Network Partnership
Gavin Newsom, incumbent
Wilma Pang, music teacher
Michael Powers, owner of Power Exchange sex club
Chicken John Rinaldi, showman
Billy Bob Whitmer, educator
Josh Wolf, blogger

pancakes and zoom

every weekend since we've been married shawn's made pancakes. most of the time it's been on saturday morning. most of the time coffee is included. from time to time, i get bacon, too. YUM-MY. i think my favorite were the fresh peach pancakes (peaches IN the pancakes). this morning it was mixed-berries. it's been two months since we've been married. somewhat surreal. really good. happy.

today we're buying a car. it's a 2002 VW Golf fully loaded with 30,000 miles on it. it's going to replace shawn's geo metro (1994, NOT loaded...i mean no air conditioning, no radio, no power anything included no power-sterring, 197,000 miles with original clutch still in). it's pretty exciting.

we're going to drive to Point Reyes to celebrate!
