Had a wonderful birthday party and was very pleased with the folks who showed up on a work night (Tuesday). There was even live music and singing courtesy of Brian and Andres! Not pictured are Desiree Allyn and her son Cliff, who left before I remembered to break out the camera.
Chef Shea stayed up late the night before and worked all day to prepare a lot of this from scratch, which was staged in the extra garage fridge:
Most of them were G-rated…
But this one came specially ordered from an artist in Portugal. Marine motif mini-cabinet was something I thrifted separately, but what a juxtaposition, right?
Pride Day in San Francisco was a LOT of walking and fun. We ran into tons of folks we knew on the ferry ride back to Vallejo, but we were so tired and barely got on the boat ourselves that we didn’t take pictures with any of them. At least we got a shot of Sanjay and Neeraj when we stopped by Sundance and joined in for a couple of line-dancing songs. I also got to stop by the booth for LGBTQ Minus Tobacco for the first time at SF Pride, which was great, but I neglected to take a photo with them too, damn it.
After someone broke into the house and stole several things from the garage from the contractor and me I got access once again to assess the damage. Assholes.
Shea made wonderful omelets to start the day. We ended up having Thai food for dinner in downtown Vallejo, and then made our way to San Francisco. We stopped by Greg and Steve’s pied-à-terre in the Castro, then walked over to the Pilsner for a drink, where we met a guy who was also celebrating his birthday. He even bought us a round and had some cake to share with us! Afterward, Shea and I went to Bearracuda, which I had not been to in many years. This is in addition to my other posting here where Greg, Steve, Shea, and I took pictures under the rainbow laser lights.
Random pictures with the dogs over the past few weeks.
