Bay Area Buffistas: cool new restaurant. Lake Chalet, right on Lake Merritt, next to that Victorian house near the Oakland Main Library. *Beautiful* building and location. Good food. Longest bar in the county. Consider it for next out of town visitor meet up?

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Mmm, Nora, I have such envy. We drove thru Sonoma recently but it turns out wine tasting and whiny kids don't mix, so we skipped the vino.

Well, a creative application of wine tasting might solve the whiny kids problem, but I doubt the vinyards would be legally able to go along with the plan.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
also t-, what were you thinking of doing?
Oh, I wasn't doing any thinking beyond "Nora! In Napa where I can get to! Yay!"
I could do lunch or beer in Calistoga or Healdsburg on the 8th, certainly. During the day would be easier than in the evening for me, but other than that, I'm down for whatever.

Yeah, I think the 8th could certainly work, during the day...

I have to be back at work on the 9th for a retirement party, as it turns out. I'll have yoga, lap swimming, light hiking, and de-camping that'll take until about 2:30, travel time 30 mins. to Calistoga, maybe 30 mins. flex time? Meet around 3:30 on the 8th?
I *could* lap swim in Calistoga, then leave earlier, after yoga, light hiking, and de-camping. This is the only place that has day-pass use of the hot springs ($10, I think). They have 3 different pools - hot-hot, body-temp-hot, and lap swim pool. (It's in a great location; best place to stay in Calistoga IMHO). We could meet there and hang out around the pool? [link]

That would work for us!

I suspect this is the Universe telling me that the only way I'm going to be able to see my peeps is by actually moving my ass there.
I'm working on it, Universe!
