We climb into his car and buzz over to the Noe Valley to find the impossible to find parking-spot near the place we're going to have dinner. We finally make it and get to Eric's Restaurant before the James Duo arrives. We each order a dish of some sort, and I want a beer. All kind of food appears soon and we're eating away, while talking and drinking. Fun stories from the 2 Jameses and the news update from the Weekend in Jenner with Christine and Moto. Great food we're having here. I end up with a pile to take home. After dropping mother and daughter off at home Greg gives me a ride home so much easier than dealing with BART.
Dinner at Eric's Chinese Restaurant in Noe Valley, San Francisco...

Stuart was just about ready to start to cook when I walked in with a big back full of the leftovers and he was thrilled to warm up some of it.
Hanging out with Scooby...

Tuesday, July 07... 10 years ago I moved into my house here!!!
Full moon this morning at 4:20
I wake-up before the alarm, I have tons of things to do, organizing my room, garage and kitchen. need to put away my camping-gear, wash cloth, fix this and find that. Like the false alarm I rang when I told Chris, the Yoga Teacher, that I miss my photo-bag. But no, it was laying in my closet, where I left it. It's time to get it all back in order. I have my first appointment with a new client this morning. At 11 I have to be in San Anselmo.
Sighting of a warning...
What could be wrong with this Liftgate???
As I'm driving on the Interstate towards the I-80/580 split I have this flashback, like I was driving in he same direction a few month ago, when it was the start of my trip around the country... I kind of wish I be still on the road, instead of going to look at a job. But that's not the right attitude my friend, lets think positive about having this "other" life. I find the place, it is a great house behind a big driveway circle. Some of other work is going on I can tell. These clients are waiting for me now since a few weeks, it is a job that Flint started and couldn't finish because he had to go back to India. Now it's my turn. I meet the lady of the house and she introduces me to all the projects I have to take care of. I make my list, measure things and scratch my head a lot... what a mess this place is. At least it is a most beautiful day, wish I could go to the beach now and enjoy the rest of the day. But no, I have another appointment this afternoon back in Berkeley. On my way home I stop at Lamer Electric, boy did I say Lamer again??? I do mean Laner Electric, can't help myself to call them Lamer, they are lame, but on my way to check on a few things for this project I just looked at. Then over to Costco, I'm hungry and I need a ton of sugar to make some plum-jam here in the next few days, and while I'm here might as well have my Polish Hot-Dog ohh so good!!! This was a 12 dollar lunch, a Dog and 20 Lb of Sugar.
Next is to meet this other new client in the Uplands of Berkeley. I find the house, right next to this mega busy Tunnel road, but once you turn into this driveway it's a different world, a story-world.
This place is kind of a medieval House build in the early 1900. A trip to be there, hell to figure things out what I have to figure out...
It's past 3 o'clock when I find the opportunity to take 3 o'clock picture...
A midevil Storytelling House in Berkeley!!!
Ha! you called chris to tell him you were missing a bag? I bet that was the *last* thing he needed after Nancy lost all my stuff... and Laurie posted about her lost stuff... really put a damper on the weekend for me. Well, that and the motorcycle clutch problem and the chill - it was really too cold for me to do yoga, I kept getting cramps constantly on Saturday morning.
