snousleHad a rather good weekend with several Bay Area stops. Ted and I rendezvoused in San Jose, where we attended my old neighborhood's block party for a few hours. I feel a bit wistful, still, about leaving that place, although beyond that one block, the rest of San Jose can go hang itself.
Then, we continued to Boulder Creek where we went to an excellent South Bay Bears sleepover party. The house was a GREAT party pad - the grounds were well forested with redwoods, there was a fire ring, several decks, a hot tub, and lots of bedrooms. Heh. It got good and frisky, too, and I never get tired of being with hairy guys out in the woods.
Ted and I had lunch at Alice's, then I stopped at the "Skyline Office", a circle of redwood trees where I often go for some serious calming-down. The interior is almost completely enclosed by wood and entirely private:
Afterwards, I met up at the Eagle with Rich, a fellow I've been spending some time with lately:
Love that bushy bristly look.
This coming weekend is the Golden Gate Guards run, and after that is Badger. Probably won't have time to write for a while, the Guards run is going to be really intense in the kitchen. Frankly I wonder if I've bit off more than I can chew with this one. We'll see how the baking prep goes over the next few days. Right now I'm feeling positively awful about it, the pressure of these things is proving very hard to take and it's sucking. It's a money-earning thing but I feel terribly fatigued and would really, really like to rest for a while. Like maybe a whole month.
There will be a hiatus between this run and Badger, and Bill and I will be staying at Ted's for that period. That should be quite relaxing.
