Weekends

This was a very mellow weekend; a much-needed rest after having my family in town and a long offsite meeting for work on Friday. On Saturday, Rob went off on a bike ride at 8:30 and I had a mellow morning at home. Too nice outside to stay in, I walked to TJ Maxx to…

Sorry for the delay, my family is in town and it makes it hard to get writing time. This was a packed weekend, with lots of biking in the city, Fleet Week, a race and a parade. On Friday, Rob and I joined friends out at Bike Party. We rode around SOMA and Dogpatch with…

Funny weekend! A bit of city elegance mixed with backcountry camping. We started out on Friday with Heart of a Soldier. Regular Turkish deli dinner before the show. The opera wasn’t the finest new work I’ve seen, but enthusiastically staged and fairly touching. The next day, we left the city early for a bike event…

Only two more days to go in the 10-day crazy conference season marathon! Despite being dressed like this for the last eight days… …I’ve still managed to squeeze in a bit of a personal life. (Black & white because they’re all low-quality cell photos) On Friday, Rob and I went to the first opera of…

Lovely weekend! Summer weather arrived just in time for our three year wedding anniversary! On Friday night I stayed at work late to prepare for the craziness of the next week and then had a quiet evening at home with the adorable French film, L’arnacouer (Heartbreaker), on Netflix. Up early on Saturday to drive south…

I spent Friday at work volunteering, vigorously landscaping a vegetable garden for a children’s community center. By the time I got back to the office and through the company Oktoberfest party, I was pretty spent. Rob and I walked to the cinema and saw The Guard. Good movie! Lazy day on Saturday. Rob left early…

This was a very leisurely weekend – exactly what I needed before crazy-work September officially starts. On Friday, Rob and I worked late and came home to relax. We bought a new juicer and went through a couple pounds of nectarines trying it out. Yum, delicious results! Saturday, Rob and I got up early to…

Rob’s parents came to town this weekend for a visit to mark the end of summer and track some birds. We started out on Friday night with dinner at Plant, a great waterside restaurant for visitors. Very foggy ferry ride out to the island. We started our hike on the south side and got a…

The fog rolled in extra heavy this weekend. I can’t wait for our Indian summer…hopefully starting soon! On Friday night, Margaret came over to the apartment and we worked on a carving monograms into linoleum blocks for a future stationery project. After she left, I caught up on my letters. On Saturday morning, I slept…

Even with Outside Lands, this managed to be a super quiet weekend! On Friday, I was supposed to head to the concert but a late night meeting at work and a health scare with our visiting friends cancelled the plans. An evening of chips, guacamole and Mary Tyler Moore. Saturday morning, Rob and I slept…
