hairball

That's my friend Aimee. She was at Baker beach today walking her dog and a big hairy man came up to her and told her that she was the prettiest dog walker he had seen all day. Very nice of him to say.

He also happened to be completely nude.

Tourist

My friend Shelley had a great idea for her birthday. On Sunday a big group of us dressed up like San Francisco tourists and climbed onto a double decker tour bus and spent over 5 hours exploring our fare city. What a fun thing to do! The bus stopped at all the major landmarks and let us get off and wander around. I found an ice cream parlor at Fisherman's Wharf and ordered a big fat hot fudge sundae. I sat on a curb and kinda wolfed it down. I rarely let myself eat ice cream anymore. As I finished my sundae one of my fellow Woodcocks passed by. She was taking her family for a tour. We exchanged pleasantries and then went on our merry way. A few minutes later i looked down at my shirt.. i had chocolate ice cream all down the front of me and a bit left on my chin. I think I'll say i was on Ambien and don't remember seeing her. It worked for Patrick Kennedy. Apparently he explained away picking up hookers by saying he was on the sleeping drug. If you can pick up hookers and not remember.. then surely you can be a sloppy ice cream eater.

Milo the monkey

Most of you know that Michelle has changed her name to Milo. She recently discovered that she shares the name with a monkey that NASA shot into space in the 60's. To be honest, I've had a hard time calling her Milo. So, now i like to call her my little space monkey.

Go Woodcocks!!!

Whooohooooo!!!! 5 wins in a row! I was missing in action because my buddy Wesley and i went to see the San Francisco Giants get clobbered by the Florida Marlins. We had lots of fun but my heart was with the Woodcocks!

On a side note, i usually ride my bike to work and Michelle always calls to see if i made it in safely. This morning Michelle gave me a ride. Keep that in mind as i recount our phone conversation.

Ring, ring...

Me: Hello?
Michelle: "Hi! Oh good! You made it in safe!"
Me: "?......Yah, you dropped me off."
Michelle: "...."
Me: "Remember?"
Michelle: "..."

The gals of Brazil

Did anyone watch the women's beach volleyball match last night? USA vs Brazil? Did you notice the unfortunate shortening of the Brazilian team's name?

salsa

Michelle's mom and her husband Ron are here visiting. We took them to a club called the El Rio yesterday afternoon. On Sundays they have a salsa band on the back patio and free BBQ. Michelle's mom is quite a little dancer! She tried to teach Michelle and I how to strut our stuff.. but.. alas.. our stuff just didn't strut like her mama's did. Ron enjoyed the free BBQ but didn't understand why there were so many boys dancing with each other.

This IS San Francisco, after all.

sore bottom

The other day Michelle and i were driving around and i saw a girl on a bike wearing padded shorts. The kind the racers wear. I don't have padded shorts but i thought I'd make my own and see if it made my ride to work a little less stressful on my.. "area." I wadded up a bunch of toilet paper and put it in my drawers. Well, let me tell you. Having a big ball of toilet paper in your underwear is NOT the answer! Its MORE painful than a simple bike seat.

My poor little "area" is on injured reserve.
