After complaining saturday about a lack of seasonally appropriate sun and heat, Summertime arrived today… At dawn it was sunning and warm… The garden is bright and colorful… the birds are calling… It’s a good day to be alive…
T and I decided to do lunch… we considered a couple of places downtown (we have a vibrant and thriving downtown, but not on so much on Sunday afternoon…) but finding our range of choices limited we instead followed the age old advice and headed west.
We live in San Mateo on the San Francisco Peninsula. To the east about 100 yards away we find the San Francisco Bay. About 6 miles to the west (as the crow or more likely racing pigeon flies, assuming the crow flies in a straight line… the pigeon being more dependable and having the better sense of direction) lies the Pacific Ocean… of course it’s closer to 21 miles by road, because we apparently don’t drive straight like the aforementioned birds to get there…
It was sunny at Princeton… (we knew, we had checked with a local restaurant’s web cam… isn’t technology great) the local small boat harbor, and site of the Maverick’s surfing contest… So off to the coast we went, windows open with the dog happily sticking her head out the window..
We end up at the local microbrewery… They have a patio that is dog friendly… there were dogs there, a great variety of dogs… We lunched, the dog enjoyed herself… Afterward we walk on the beach, then drove home… It felt good, but the day wasn’t over yet…
Last Thursday someone at work offered concert tickets for John Hiatt and Los Lobos… not just any tickets but really, really good concert tickets with VIP parking and access to the special VIP lounge at the Mt Winery… Tina was the fastest to reply, and scored the precious tickets (apparently it took something less than 60 seconds from offer to award, I married a fast woman…)
So we spent a warm summer evening watching really good music as the full moon rose in the west…
Today is expected to be hotter...
