Positively awful conference on faith and science on Monday. Only saving graces were (a) being with Anne and SHC colleagues, (b) running into old friends like Chris Valdez and Ken Swan, and (c) strolling the beautiful grounds, which reminded me very much of Sacred Heart Atherton. 

Checked out this lovely state park on our way to the RS department party in Benecia. Beautiful Bay views (including of my least favorite bridge across the bay) and a fun time watching some friendly fishermen. Made a quick stop also to check out the Botanical Garden. Lovely local gems. 

Even on a typically cold and foggy “summer” day in SF, I love the area around the Park/Beach Chalet: the WPA murals, the windmill in GG Park, and Ocean Beach, of course. Great walk there with my favorites this morning. 

Picked up my 13,500 today without leaving the neighborhood! Back and forth to school twice (once with Mary Bear) 3 hours at Bosco’s basement, around Washington Square Park, then errands on Bay Street (Goodwill drop-off, DeLise icey treats, Safeway for yogurt, Trader Joe’s for the usuals) ending in this lovely view of an early moon rising over the icons of North Beach: Coit Tower and Sts. Peter and Paul!
