A Whole Week

I can't believe it's been a whole week since I posted. I guess I didn't feel like sharing. I hope you weren't too worried.

Today I pickd up Sal at her hotel over on the peninsula. She's all done with her Borders job in SF. I visited the store on opening day on Thursday. It was pretty busy! We had lunch in the new food court and got grilled chicked kabobs at Asqew. It was terrific. For dinner we ate at one of the restaurants on the fourth floor (same as Borders), Straits. Instead of ordering entrees, we got several "small plates." I like the chicken satay and the spring rolls the best. Sal liked the samosas.

We ate pretty good for a couple days cuz the night before I went with all the Borders trainers to The Stinking Rose in North Beach. I usually order the 40 clove chicken but I branched out and got the meatloaf. It was super and just a tiny bit spicy. A successful trip off the beaten path.

For lunch on Friday I went with Paul to the new food court. We decided to try out the SF Soup Company. I tasted the split pea but wasn't impressed so got the tomato bisque. So yummy. I'll be getting that again for sure. We had a much harder time finding seats in the open area than Sal and I did the day before. There were so many people! I hope it settles down in a month or so.

So Sal's here until Thursday and I've taken the week off. We're going to Muir Woods and the City tomorrow and then the Oakland Zoo and shopping on Tuesday. Wednesday we're going to watch baseball and Harry Potter movies and let Sallie rest up before heading back to work in MN.

Today we're watching the Twins game on my DVR. We purposefully don't know if the Tigers won so we can folllow along with the emotions of the race for the AL Central Division. I just hope whoever ends up playing the Yankees kicks some butt. I could happily cheer for any of the other three teams: A's, Tigers or Twins.

Well, my lunch is done so I better eat it before it gets cold.
Go A's!
