Perkins, no problem. If it doesn't work out, just a pedi is totally fine.
Simon: The decision saved your life. Zoe: Won't happen again, sir. Mal: Good. And thanks. I'm grateful. Zoe: It was my pleasure, sir.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Perkins, I'd love a mani and brow tweeze, but I won't get to the hotel until 2-ish. How far is the hotel from this place?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Well my F2F already started as I spent the morning and early afternoon with Nora and her friend L.
I collected them from the downtown Hilton after doing the Emmett school run, and we went to breakfast at Zazie. Sat outside in the back, blue sky and breezy. Nora and I both had the Crab Dungeness Eggs Benedict and then split a Gingerbread pancake with lemon curd.
After that I took them down Haight Street and we hit La Rosa and Ambiance and Kid Robot and Booksmith and Wasteland and that actually took a good long time. So when we got to the brewpub Magnolia at Haight and Masonic we stopped there for a beer.
After that refreshment we walked down to Divisadero, and I took them up the cool block and showed them stores like the estate sale place (where I bought Teppy a present) and Cookin' - Used Gourmet Appurtenences. And Nora and L. wrung their hands and were sore tempted by the vintage Le Creuset and discount prices and the spiff grinders and dishes and old cookbooks and whatnot.
Then I showed them where they could get prosthetic limbs, and we walked down to the Lower Haight where I left them at Toranado to get some more fancy beer.
I would describe our pace as "leisurely."

How far is the hotel from this place?
Chikat, Google puts it at just under three miles:
eta: Everyone else who wanders by, let me know if/what you are interested in, and I will call them back tomorrow to see what we can work out.

Perkins, I could desperately use a pedicure if there are still slots available.

Our wings are not tired.
Perkins! I would love both a mani and pedi if possible. If not I will go tomorrow or Thursday. It was on my list but I just couldn't manage. Crazy since my beloved SIL owns a nail salon. She yelled at me for not making time to see her.
eta: sweet, a personal number hit since my b'day is 2.22

::crosses fingers that Sparky might be up for this trip too, to solve that pesky transportation dilemma::
Alas, I will have to work on Friday afternoon because there are two other people taking off that day from my department.
Will someone please volunteer to meet Epic at a BART station or other convienent location so I can point her in the right direction on Friday?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I have been having a strange conversation with the hotel. I realized when I printed out the confirmation that it said "smoking." I called the reservations people, who said that, while it does say in my reservation that I requested "no smoking," they can't guarantee a nonsmoking room because I'm part of a group. The person I originally made the reservation with didn't say any such thing.
WTF? Has anyone else run into this?
