Huh. Frances ADORES Isaac, dotes on him, tries to mother him herself. I'm not buying your boys vs girls theory, but that's just based on my own anecdotal evidence.

Yeah, sadly, my dataset is just me and my childhood best friend, so not exactly a huge sample there.

(And in that case, forget what I said about avoiding the crowds.)

Meh. I live in North Beach, right next to Chinatown. There's always crowds on the weekends.

Guess who I'm having lunch with today? P-Cow! Katie B. and JZ are coming too.

I went down and saw everyone! Freaked P-C right out when I gave him a kiss on the cheek, since he didn't know who I was, and then when he found that out, he didn't know why I was in SF. Ooops.

Champagne (sparkling rose would have been even better), pink grapefruit juice, pom juice, & pom seeds. It was delicious!

ooooooh. Maybe I should serve that tomorrow....

I always feel like I'm ignoring conversations if I completely dismiss them so I'll just say - I really don't know a thing about kids and their wacky behaviours. I like kids (mostly) and I babysit and all that but the occasional babysitting job and full time parenting is SO not the same thing. So... I have nothing good to offer in the way of opinion or advice.

Wait... that's a lie. I do have an opinion. Buffista kids are all perfection.

Still very jealous of the bay area folk all getting together (minus Perkins who I'm jealous of for other reasons) this weekend. Hope you all have a fabulous time!

I know it's a sport, but this headline just looks wacky:

Top US skeleton competitor suspended

Did anyone happen to take pictures during the lunch today? I'd love to see PC's face when Juliana kissed him!

So jealous, I'm only across the bay, chained to my desk. Grumble, grumble.

Ok, what is the point of asking for help, when said help ingores the given instructions, screws up the job, necessitating over 6 hours of backtracking to fix the mess.........

Alcohol and denial - I'm just sayin.

I'm listening. In fact, you just described my weekend.

P-Cow took several pictures. None, however, of himself in the act of being pounce-kissed by Juliana.

More's the pity.

We had a fun lunch. I made Sunil review everything on his plate. "Yeah, but how are the potatoes? Too fancy, or just right?"

He thinks the interview went well, so I think we can snare another Buffistae into our alluring Bay Area trap.

Where did y'all end up Hec?

Mistral (the Provencale roastery) in the Ferry Building. Then gelato.
