Part 2
I wrote this all on October 22, 2006 just before my computer crashed and died for good. I just got around to rescuing this from that hard drive. Sorry it is so late. I will work on getting this up to date.
July:
My good friend, Sara, who I know from UofM, flew out to San Francisco so that we could spend a weekend biking in wine country to celebrate her getting married and my birthday. We went with Undiscovered Country Tours to Russian River Valley. I recommend the well supported and coordinated tour company and the beauty of Russian River Valley. When I get my gallery pages all organized again I will have photos of this trip online. Ahhh, one of these years.
Since I have been in San Francisco, I have been reading heaps, and spending a lot of time just exploring. Book to recommend: The Secret History by Donna Tartt (thanks for that recommendation, Eli) it is a book that starts with what is usually a climax in a book and tells the history of how the characters reached that point.
Also, by July I started becoming comfortable with a couple of the people that I have met her. Movie nights at our homes with ice cream or popcorn or wine or whatever has been my favorite form of fun.
Went to Oakland for a BBQ on a rooftop with Roger (my AIDS Ride buddy from Chicago, he lives here now). Good food, good company and a view. It was a lovely evening.
Another Poker Chase on bikes! This time in hilly San Francisco. Lost another Poker Hand. I had the chance to see more neighborhoods and I found a discovered a bike route that people here call the Wiggle, that allows me to get across the city without feeling like I am riding uphill the entire time.
August:
Went to Ann Arbor for Sara’s bridal shower. I spent time with Sara and with Vanessa, Bruce and adorable baby.
I really cannot find anything else I did in August, I am sure it was busy though. I am always busy.
September:
Sara’s wedding! I was a bridesmaid, in a lovely (read: not fruffy) dress, the weather was beautiful and I was a girly girl for a day. Sara was beautiful and I do not think I have ever seen her so happy.
Since I was in the Midwest I spent a couple of days with my mom. We hung out in Royal Oak and worked on her computer and played with Precious in the backyard. Then I ran off to Chicago, where I was able to borrow a bike and run around town and see a number of people, hiding from hail storms and eating and drinking and watching Carrie Lydon sing.
October:
Oh my! I am almost nearing the end of this update.
More than anything I have been going to friends houses and eating good food and watching movies. It is almost family-like. Someone or ones cook dinner and anywhere from 3 to 7 of us eat together and watch a DVD of almost anything. This has been happening once or twice a week. It is a lovely tradition we are trying to start.
