SF Adventures

I mentioned our Cotogna dinner on my last post. My wife and I stayed over that night at the Hilton on Kearney and did some wandering around Sunday morning before heading back to the suburbs. We had a nice little outdoor breakfast at Reveille on Columbus. I had to eat my eggs out of a box, but we enjoyed ourselves.

I took a few pics. The Basque Hotel has a long history, but unfortunately their restaurant shut down in 1996. I’ve spoken of the feasts that the Wolv and I would have there in the 80s. You would get a multi-course meal with soup, bread and salad for $10.

We were tempted, but didn’t try any of the dim sum.

We went back to the city on Wednesday to meet up with #1 and Barbie at The Anchovy Bar, which made Esquire’s list of best new restaurants.  We had a 5:30 reservation, as they are hard to come by, but we relished the fare.  Our favorite was the oysters. We even ran into The Wig’s kids as we were leaving. I was decked out in my new jeans. My wife took me to a personal shopper at Nordstrom. I have to admit that the clothes I got look better than what I had, but I have a couple concerns.  One is taking fashion advice from a twenty-something with a man bun. The other is paying close to $200 for a freakin’ pair of jeans.

I’m glad I was able to get this post out.  I’ve been downcast regarding the Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabelo breakup. And this came up just as I was coming out of being emotionally wrecked by Taylor Swift’s 10-minute video. On the bright side, Kim K. and Pete Davidson will be together for a couple months.

I should probably not talk about politics, but I gotta.  Kevin McCarthy rambled for eight hours yesterday. I cannot understand these clowns.  Even scarier was Michael Flynn saying we should have one religion.  Which one should that be Mike?  Presbyterianism?  Pastafarianism? Mike can consult with JFK Jr. the next time he sees him. And since that punk Rittenhouse has been acquitted, maybe he really can get coffee for Matt Gaetz.  You can pause now to puke.

I got my booster yesterday. There have been no side effects, like achiness, fever, glowing etc.  Fortunately, the nurse asked me if I wanted the dose with or without Luciferase. She also pointed out that if I have a change of heart, I just need to take a borax bath.

Since I just mentioned The Wolv and he is one of my most loyal readers, I wanted to point that the wolverine is also referred to as the mountain devil, the quickhatch, the carcajou and the skunk bear. It is amazing what you learn on the internet. Now I have various ways to greet him when I email him or when I see his sorry ass in NOLA next year.

Since we are on the subject of names, I want to go back a few posts to when I told you about a celeb’s kid name of Rumble Honey.  I’ve been trying to think of what she could change it to in order to sound normal.  For example, Nic Cage’s kid Kal-El can simply become Cal. And when he comes of age, he can have it legally changed and tell his old man to piss off.  The other reason I brought up Rumble Honey was because I once confused it with the Met’s Double A team in Binghamton, The Rumble Ponies.

My daughter is pretty financially savvy.  She’s already contributing to her 403b, but she wants to put some additional money away.  I advised her to open a David Lee Roth IRA.

#2 is staying at my house Monday night.  Please give me a call Tuesday morning to check in.

Here’s the week 11 picks.  I got crushed in week 10, going 5-9 and slipping into a 25th place tie.
