47. Heat


Previous - 46. Aging, mortality, and change



Two straight days of heat. "We are San Franciscan's, hear us whine." Yesterday I had a late lunch at Caffe Puccini in North Beach -- my tradition for when it's warm enough to be comfortable eating out on the sidewalk. Nothing like a Caprese salad out on Columbus when it's hot. 

Today I was in the Mission so I seized the day by having lunch at Tartine, even managed to get a seat outside in the shade. I'm in the Bank Cafe now because it's cool. The heat wave is supposed to break later today, so I might think of another place to eat outside while I still can, or I could just go home. 

I'm in an anticipatory quandary since I really have nothing to do until HSB starts Friday, or Thursday afternoon if you count our meeting. I finally saw a schedule showing who's playing when and at which stage. Just to spite me, since I don't anticipate being out near the stages often this year, there are an unusual number of acts I want to hear on the two stages nearest me. I don't expect to have time to venture out to catch a performance, but I may keep a marked schedule in my pocket just in case it's not as busy as I expect (ha). Both Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter are on the schedule, and I would be surprised if they didn't join each other -- they are even scheduled on consecutive days.
