Some More from Today

So I forgot to mention a fun story that happened last night. After dropping Michaela off at the airport, Mary and I drove to Haight to have dinner at a brewery called Magnolia. Parking in San Fran is like parking in any other major urban area - vicious. I tend to be a parking hawk, and to our luck, we found someone leaving a spot on our first loop around. Unfortunately I had driven too far down the hill to back up and get it. Mary, being the astute and feisty Boston dweller, offered to get out and stand in the spot so I could drive around the block - so she did. By the time I got back to her, there was an irritated hippy in a pickup truck trying to argue her out of the spot. Let me just tell you - she held her ground. He said he wasn't leaving - she said neither was she. During all of this I was in my car, unaware to what was going on, waving my hands, hoping she would just let the guy have the spot. She would do no such thing. We got our spot. Hells yeah.

Quote of the Day:

You know, if you Alcatraz the Alcatraz, that could lead to a serious Alcatraz, so make sure you keep the Alcatraz in the Alcatraz at all times - Alcatraz this, I'm Alcatrazing.
