happy 18th

Would you like to hear the tale of what we did on the coast? Berkeley has some things closed on Mondays! Cha-ya doesn't have lunch, The Cheeseboard Collective doesn't have pizza, and a cute little stationary store called Twig & Fig is closed period.

But we had nice food at House of Curries formerly Naan and Curry on College near Ashby. And we had fun walking on the pier and taking pictures of the art and one another in the wind--I will post some later. In the evening, Erik sat at the Bekeley zendo--then we went to Oakland, and he sat again! He's so zen. Ha ha ha ha ha.

I am reading Gary Young's book No Other Life which is brilliant prose-poems. Today we're going to the library and to pick up a freecycle soap-making kit. Yay. I wrote letters yesterday. And we got the perfectly world-class bread at Acme to eat today.
