I wrote that I went for a beer at
Yancy’s on the Monday before and had trouble sleeping. I got to the thesis on Tuesday and mom and I
made cookies with the nephew. Nora took
him home, ate dinner and watched TV all night.
On Wednesday I had coffee in the morning and worked on the thesis. At four I rode through the park and
encountered a huge blockage. I thought
they were contractors. I told three of
the drivers that they were in the way and one them said complain. I took photos and called it in. Later I stopped by the coalition and told
Marc about it.
I rode to Embarcadero and bought Nicole
a Bike Link card. Then I caught a
Rockridge train. I was in a crowded
car. At Rockridge I rode through
Clairmont Country Club. I noted that
Broadway Terrace was too steep for her.
On the other side I looked at Temescal and noted that Golden Gate to
Temescal might have been a better choice.
I rode to Mountain Lane. Another issue that came up was Mountain Lane
is a bit hillier than the street that was named Glen something. I ended up in Montclair and had some food and
then I went to Park street Via Trafalgar.
I checked out the park and noted that there was a gate there and was
likely impossible. I took Park to
Leifert and then crossed the bridge there to look at the neighborhood there but
there was no park access. I ended up on
13th and took Beaumont. I
took 21 street to 21 avenue and then to Fruitvale on International.
I noted that I should have stayed on the
other side of the bridge since Fruitvale heads straight to Dimond Park. I got honked at on International. I talked to the guy at the Bike Station but
he was not friendly. I noted that I rode
through the Plaza and thought the place was a hellhole. I took the train to Civic Center and went for
a taco at Chihuahua and then watched a Giants game at the Page. I was home at 11. I noted that mom and dad were at the
hospital.
This is series chronicles my life at regular intervals. This Memo series is meant to be a retrospective of
what I have written and experienced. In each of these posts I use my notes in
conjunction with memory, mementos and souvenirs to create a snap shot of my
life.
