On the shore. Weekend’s mine. Think it’s time to try the new Peruvian restaurant in town tomorrow night!

Ashore!

Talk about going from "Ugh; all the muggles are on the beach and we're not seeing it" to "oh. There it is. What a clever construction." Whew!

Celebrating my last day at work today -- officially retired. Yikes!

A safe weekend to all.

Late start, but a refreshing swim to shore.

A diet Pepsi, please!

Simple. But very original.
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Ashore! Racer 5 IPA hits the spot after a round of golf at Lincoln Park with Jane. 17th tee has a spectacular vista of Golden Gate Bridge.

Almost fell down a rabbit hole halfway through the meta but was able to land safely ashore after all. Ready for a drink (and a good night's sleep)!

Ashore! Went on a rabbit trail that luckily crossed the right path and I spotted the difference.
