Rainy SF Sunday

This morning was the first time in a long time that I woke up on a weekend morning and just stayed in bed. The rainy SF weather wasn't helping, neither was my sister, Viv, who continued to sleep peacefully as I stirred. No problem though, as we've been running around town the past few days.

I arrived late Thursday night, but I still managed to arrive at SFO before my boss and co-workers who we saw and chatted with at the curb-side before we left. Friday was a somewhat sunny day, depending on what part of town we were in. We had brunch at Sally's (I've been wanting to eat there since before I left SF six years ago, so was glad when Viv suggested it). I talked her into getting a new cell phone, so we went to the Daly City Sprint store to get her new EVO 4G. She showed me how to do some photo editing in Photo Shop Elements 9 (PSE), then we tried out a few video chat applications for our EVOs. Pretty cool. However, we can't exactly video chat while we drive, LOL. We ordered delivery from Eat24hours.com. They have service in  SD as well, so I'll have to try it when I get home.

Saturday, we spent a couple of hours at a Ritz Camera University class in Oakland (since I was missing the class I was signed up for back in SD), then we headed back into SF to catch the SF Trolley Dances. I miss all the arts & culture events in SF - in SD, the arts are not as subsidized as it is here in SF, so while the trolley dances in SD cost $10/$15/$20 (St/Sr/Genl), it only cost a Muni ticket ($2.00 for a 3 hour pass/transfer). I love every single piece I've seen in SD, but was left a little cold with everything I saw here. Viv said it's probably because art in SF is more politically charged here. I loved the political piece, but didn't really care for the others. Anyway, it was a good opportunity to take photos. On a side note, as we walked around the Castro before our tour started, we stumbled upon a table with some "Free" books, which included "An irreverent curiosity: in search of the church's strangest relic in Italy's oddest town". In case you were wondering, the relic is Jesus' foreskin. I decided to leave it there, and if it was still there when I came back, I'd take it. Now I wish I took it when I saw it.

Now, it is a cold, wet, SF Sunday morning. We keep on talking ourselves out of leaving the house. I want to visit my friend Monique and meet her new baby, but she has family and in-laws over today. I also want to go back to the Sports Basement to look at climbing shoes and gear. I also want to take more pictures. Viv is now talking coffee, so I guess we are actually going to leave the house now. Yay. Maybe I can even get a used copy of the Jesus foreskin book.....
