Comforts

After our hike, Anna and I headed to Comforts in San Anselmo for some lunch. We decided to get brunch and were so happy with our choices. We shared a polenta, spinach, poached egg dish and then we shared french toast. Both of these dishes were absolutely delicious. We grabbed their famous chinese chicken salad from takeout on our way out the door. This place is delightful.

Lake Lagunitas

Anna and I met up today for a lovely hike around Lake Lagunitas. The sun came out just as we got there and it was a wonderful day for a stroll. As we caught up on all the goings-on, we saw turtles, cormorants and even a pileated woodpecker.

Lunch at Nick's

After archery, Marianne and I drove over to Pacifica to eat lunch at Nick's. This place is a total throwback diner from the 50s. It's so cool inside. And their food is incredible. I had the crab sandwich and was utterly content.

Archery Lesson

Marianne treated me to a lovely surprise gift of an archery lesson. I drove down to her place today and we headed out for our adventure. We were promptly fitted with a leather glove and an arm protector and then an instructor explained the basics to us.

We shot for a while at targets 10 feet away and did surprisingly well. Apparently women have good aim. We moved it back to 15 feet and also did well. No direct bulls eyes but consistently in the inner rings. We were about to move it back another 5 feet when our time ran out. I suspect we'll be back for more.

The Long Ride Home

I biked home from work again today. Last time, I learned that I need to eat a bunch of food before riding. I did that. It worked. I had energy almost the entire ride home and felt good. Turns out that it's not quite 20 miles, just 18. It still took nearly 2 hours this time. I thought it would go a lot faster with the extra fuel, but no. It was fun and I like my new bike buddy. Such a great way to wind down from the week. This photo is how it looked in the city. As soon as we got across the bridge, it was sunny and gorgeous. Just a typical summer day in San Francisco.

Tennis with Thom

Thom and I went over to the Corte Madera courts to hit a few balls today. Unbeknownst to us, you have to have a key to get onto the courts. Luckily, there were people inside and they let us in. It was a beautiful day and it felt wonderful to hit the ball around.

Chillin' in the Villa

I went up to Napa today to hang out with Sarah in her sweet place out in the middle of the beautiful Napa countryside. We roamed downtown for lunch and then got some art supplies to work on a project. But that never came about since we started drinking wine under the shade tree when we got home and didn't leave that spot for a long, long time. Great day.
