Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Steph, I am so sorry. I hope you're feeling better today.

I have plans to casually see some places today (candy store to get traditional sweet gifts for people and colleagues), visit the Presidio, and see what people are planing here to join in on lunch/dinner/other activities.

Let me know if anyone would like to hang out today. I'm also here on Sunday, and starting my travel back home on Monday morning.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

My GI tract is still rebellious today, and I think I passed it on to Tim, which confirms it's likely contagious. I talked to my mom yesterday, crying a little about staying home, and she said "Your friends will still love you if you have to stay home, but they might have a harder time loving you if you give them the shits." (She has quite a way with words.) But it's true -- I wouldn't want to have passed this on. I'm super grateful the memorial will be live-streamed.

TepMom is wise. We’re planning on a late lunch at Nourish cafe, some wandering, and dinner at Shizen, no specific time. Probably not late enough to join you Jess.

I'll say maybe to dinner, Jess? That's pretty late for me but it would be great to see you! Once I'm off the clock and have made it into the city hopefully I will get energized for being out and about. I'm afraid I don't know that area but at all, but looking at a map I see the Bell Tower is close-ish and I know one of my friends really likes that place. I can't imagine I could actually wait to eat dinner until then but I could maybe nibble on second dinner and could almost certainly have a drink and a snack while you dine.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry you are still sick, Teppy. I hope Tim escapes it. You will be missed. We are going to Ohio on our way north this year because I have a bunch of cousins there. Will try and make a quick stop on the way through. You did promise hugs!!

Yes, Jess. Let us know what you are doing later. Will be too late for me to eat, but maybe a drink.

That sucks Teppy but your mom is probably right (and is making me laugh)

I am doing work…theoretically. Mostly I am getting cranky at someone else who hasn’t done work, and pausing and avoiding some other work things. I’m being dragged into a new project and I don’t want to.

Our flight lands just before 7pm tonight, so we will probably be looking for a dinner or a drink on the later side tonight. We are at the Adagio.

I’m walking around taking pictures today, because that’s what I do, but let me know what y’all dinner plans are. My number is in my profile.
