Weekends

This was a mellow weekend, a much-needed break after the adventure in Memphis. On Friday night, Rob, Margaret and I had some drinks after work and then made tacos for dinner at home. Saturday morning, Rob left to volunteer with the Bike Coalition in the morning and I hit the bike training for a couple…

Quite a few bike adventures this weekend! Starting with Critical Mass on Friday with Rob. While I support the cause, I don’t usually love this ride – but this was more fun that usual. This time, the route took the thousands of riders out to Bayview, Portola and a few other impoverished-dangerous neighborhoods on the…

Fun weekend! Outside Lands is a great summer tradition. Quiet night on Friday. I made a pasta dinner and Rob and I rested up for the weekend ahead. Early start on Saturday morning. Just enough time for some coffee before having to catch the bus out to Golden Gate Park. I volunteered with the SFBC…

What a funny weekend this was, a mixture of boredom and wild times! Friday night, Rob and I went for a bike ride after work. Great practice for me on my new bike. We rode along the water around to the market and back home. Nachos (made healthier with the addition of sunflower seeds, kale,…

This weekend started a little early! On Thursday night, my brother and nephew arrived from Sacramento to spend the night. We took them to dinner at Tropisueno downtown. My nephew is about to start junior high and is a great, chatty kid. It was fun to see our “glamorous” city life through his eyes. Chocolate…

What a nice weekend! A combination of accidental holiday movie viewing and massive spoiling deemed earned this weekend it’s title. On Friday night, Rob joined me for a small party at my office and then we came home for a relaxing evening. Netflix delivered Holiday Inn and Meet Me in St. Louis just in time…

Rob and I dashed down to San Luis Obispo for a quiet weekend with my parents. On Saturday morning, we joined them for the traditional weekend “circuit” of farmer’s market – walking the dog – breakfast at Budget Cafe and market run. We loaded up on wine, chips, salsa, BBQ seasoning and apricots to bring…

Only 10 miles away from home and an entirely different world, Marin Headlands provides city dwellers with a bit of nature just across the bridge. And when San Franciscans go camping, we do it in excess: no less than six kinds of gourmet cheese, artisanal bread, fresh fruit, local salami, drip coffee, beer, wine, brandy,…

Sunday weddings would be fantastic if they just weren’t followed by Monday mornings! I’m a bit behind today. Let’s see… On Friday, I went with my co-worker Lauren to the opening member’s reception of SFMOMA’s new Warhol to Calder exhibit. It was a packed house – with the museum decorated, a Warhol photobooth, live bands,…

Sorry for the radio silence on Friday. We suffered a loss in the family; our beloved fish passed away after over 4 years and it hit surprisingly hard. Rest in peace, Burger. And I was still pretty sick with this cold. So it was a mellow weekend. On Friday, Rob and I rode our tandem…
