A Warm Sunday

Warm weather is rare in San Francisco, although Scott does not believe this since he always seems to bring with him beautiful weather. In the morning we took Leroy to the park.

A couple of days ago I was shocked to see an enormous hawk fly out of a tree. Today there were some more typical city birds having a conversation in the trees.

There were three drummers sitting under a very tall tree. See and hear them play.

I wandered down to the Farmer's Market.

There I talked with Harry, Stranger #24, who was playing the Steel Drum. Hear a clip of him playing at the Farmer's Market. Or visit his website: http://www.shabang.us/.

I made a batch of meatballs and got ready to grill with Paul and Scott. We spent the evening on the porch, eating steak and grilled corn and drinking some beer in the wonderful, warm weather. It was a good Sunday.

An Afternoon in The Mission

Some cheesesteak discussions lead us to The Mission on this afternoon. I am very picky about Philly cheesesteaks and I usually only eat them when I am in Philly. We went to a real deal place that flies in the correct rolls from Philadelphia.

Sunny day in San Francisco

Of course, The Mission is full of murals and bright colors. I stopped to notice and enjoy the shadows and later, the artful layering of flyers and paint.

Yes, I need to Let go.

 I was dropped off at the Castro Farmer's Market and on my walk home, accompanied by my fruits and vegetables, I noticed a leaf in a puddle. I can't tell you why I like it, because I am not sure myself.

Some observations:

1. Drinking water is good, it helps prevent pounding headaches.
2. Regular, vigorous cardiovascular exercise is good. It makes you feel better all day long.
3. I photographed a stranger today at the Farmer's Market. We discussed asking 100 strangers if you can take their photograph and then post it online. He hit the nail on the head with this observation, "You probably learn a lot about yourself." Yes, this is why I am doing it.
