TellieTubby Hill










So um yeah, I was obsessed with going to the circus after reading, Water for Elephants. Rich, again let me go...while I bought a new outfit, bought him a new outfit (if its for a guy, is it an outfit????), got a hotel room and pet sitter...all to indulge in our first trip to Teatro ZinZanni. At SF's Pier 29 lies a Spiegel Tent the nations second a permanent circus. Its a dinner and show set up.

Well I would say it exceeded my expectations...balancing physical feats of strength, grace and skill with spicy humor and singing from opera to disco!!! We saw extraordinary hulahooping by a Romanian bombshell, jaw dropping acrobatics and a human pretzel. I love being completely enthralled while enjoying delicious vittles.

Then today we ventured to the Academy of Sciences to see the Rain Forest and the living roof...Golden Gate park continues to astound...what a perfect day to enjoy the city!

Best Super/Sushi Bowl ever







Ours was a smallish group but perfect chemistry...the combination of Mark, Tim, Brian, Blake, Markie, Lisa and Elizabeth, chips, salsa, cheese, dip, beers and enough sushi for a small army. The twist was Tim bringing a luscious bucket on KFC...yes pure evil...Rich was all hurt cuz he was making salmon this, tuna that and I was harshing the bucket. I love the shared group experience of all watching a commercial and ending in uproarious laughter, all screaming over a bad call and simultaneous groans over seeing Pete Townsends belly...then there is the win of the underdog-flippen heaven.

quick Saratoga trip





Drove from Oakland to Saratoga after work on Frieday. How delish to work in Oakland IN MY JEANS!!!! Brenda met me with Coronita and diet Pepsi's...so delish to catch up in person. Kitties quietly visited too-kisses to Molly and Fiona. I love to see all her yarn, knitted items and studio corner...plus I benefited from her gourmet skills. Then there was the quick trip to Yarndogs too-love you Brenda!!!
