walking the city


First built 1890 
Rebuilt 1906 after the
Great San Francisco earthquake and fire

Salmon daily. 
Hamburger daily. 
Bacon daily. 
Unless we go out. 
Protein shake daily. 
Boring is the key to my success. 


My new-found commitment to
Upgrading my look. 
This took a while. My whole life. 
Izod jeans 36 already too big. 
I no longer wear a large mens anything. 
Even my pajamas are falling off. 










Time to do my hair. 
Sent for Amazon and 
VIOLA 


A bathroom on the Pier Area 














lol got to sneak out onto the 
Fire Escape. First time. 
Also, last time. Amen.

The first day, someone swiped
Stole, borrowed, confiscated 
My jacket. Gone. 
Gone with the windbreaker. 

I hope they needed it more than I did.

Scoma’s Seafood on 
Fisherman’s Wharf 


Mostly not but yes indeed 
A few fries were eaten that day. 








Vermouth, Star Anise, 
Rosemary, and Gin, with Juniper Berries 
Not mine.  












We paid the Uber Driver $20
To deviate from the plan,
And take us down Lombard Street. 
All switchbacks- all steep. 

Elaine has been here a million times 
But this is it for me. 






Yosemite

Day One of only Two. 
This was the Tour Guide going home. 
Leaving San Francisco. 








Curry Village tents






Bike Rentals are very popular 


Curry Village in Yosemite 


Free shuttle runs continuously. 




Literally- everywhere you look 
There is some beauty. 

This jacket got stolen the first 
5 minutes I was there. 
Also had my charger in a pocket. 
🥲

I hope they needed it- 
 more than I needed it!
