Today was one of those warm days in the spring that really make you feel optimistic about it all...
Rich Tuohey, Eric, Ken Freeman, and I headed out on Rich's fishing boat to see if we could pull a halibut or two out of the Bay -- and Rich brought us to a sweet spot on the east side of Tiburon that yielded this 25+ lb. monster:
Jeremy and Erica should teach a class on throwing parties -- the cookout they hosted on the West Bluffs (the area of Crissy Field closest to the Golden Gate Bridge) had a band, a hotdog cart, firepits, tablecloths, and heaps of fun people (and the views of the Bay and the Bridge rock):
A glass of Burgundy, a goat cheese salad, and foie gras on the way = happy Momo.
We cruised up to the Russian River Valley for a day trip. Had a great lunch at Mosaic in Forestville, then headed to Williams Selyem and Freeman Winery to taste and pick-up some orders.
Later that night we had a great dinner at Andalu in San Francisco's Mission district, and this morning we had a killer brunch at Le Zinc in Noe Valley -- lots of great food and wine!
Lunch at Casa Mexicana in Noe Valley
A good burrito for lunch, and then a smorgasboard of fine food at the Giants game (playing against Chris' hometown Cincinnati Reds) for dinner:
Santana had 10 strikeouts in eight innings of 2 hit work -- then he gave up a solo home run and single to open up the ninth inning and got pulled before San Francisco closed out the 3-1 victory.
I remember coming into Detroit eight or nine years ago after the airport was completed and being blown away by how modern it was (the only airports I'd seen that were cooler were in Japan) -- and it's still very impressive:
Nothing like a bar to keep employees at work late!
