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.
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.
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.
Pictures from today’s row, including a selfie in the car on my way to rowing:
Here is some footage of the skills boat this morning taken from the other boat with Solano Rowing Club.
While I ultimately did go ahead with perhaps the first “couples” costumes of my life, I saw this hair at the thrift store which was the wrong color for Ernie’s hair. I ended up becoming Bert and Shea was Ernie as you’ll see. Shea has his own hair to spike!
During a Fairfield Court visit, I took a bunch of selfies. You can see that the courts in our county seat here in Solano are on very pretty grounds!
Pool time at Steve and Greg’s on September 2:
