August 2025 Selfies

A few of these were technically taken on my trip to Chicago, but there is no real context to them. I guess the exception is that my new friend Jonathan had the wherewithal to find me shoes that would fit me after I complained about my very sore feet after walking. I went to the thrift store he worked in, and he showed me this cool sailor shirt, which was in the same motif as the shirt I wore the night before when we went out to dinner with my friends Leo and Keith.

Oakland’s Embarcadero Marina Village

While waiting to compete in the Coast Guard Island whaleboat race, I re-parked my car and checked out the area which is between Jack London Square and the Causeway to Coast Guard Island. These cute coffee shops and restaurants were not here when I was growing up.

Downtown Benicia Lunch

Another lunch with my good friend Ron Baity, but I forgot to take a picture of us together! These were taken outside of Sailor Jack’s in Benicia. It was my first time there. I was disappointed that my first choice of vegetarian platters (the portobello sandwich) was unavailable that day, but everything else I had was delicious.
