Blah, blah, blah IPA

Woke up in San Fran to a full blown tongue bath and not from Jen.  You would think after a while they would stop licking but they don’t.  Made my side of the bed and then took an awesome walk at Blackie’s Pasture at Pam’s recommendation.  What an unbelievable 6 miler.  Weird people though; not Salt Lake City weird but not very friendly or very pre-occupied with something other than saying hello or even making eye contact.  We tried to say hello to everyone and only one lady almost gave us a smile but I think she just may have had gas.  Spez could not have walked along the trail or would have stopped every ten feet to pet or snuggle a dog.  If I was a dog, I would want to be born in CA.  I have never seen so much attention to dogs.  I love my dogs but they are dogs.   I had to take a piss so bad and was panning like I was looking for a snake for a place to pee but did not want to get arrested.  Ended up in a market where we were able to pee and look at awesome filets we planned on having for dinner that night.  Even with the delays, still at 15:05 per mile.  I did talk to Jen about our fight the previous night and how every time we argue for some reason, I go into a weird mode.  I think, what would Tyrone do in this situation?  I have felt this way for a long time and always do this (but never told Jen).   Tyrone was my hero at 22 (he was 18) when he got into a fight with Ali and she told him to do X, Y or Z and he said, screw you, I will do what I want and opened up another beer (which he did not need).  Eventually, Ali would come to her senses and they would make up, but for the 10 hours T- bone was doing exactly what he wanted to do.  I told this to Jen and said, last night I almost came home and opened up a beer and did my thing, like Tyrone would do (I ended up not doing but could have).  Jen said, well you have grown up a bit, but I am no Ali!

I found and bought IPA beer called BLAH, BLAH, BLAH which is my blog idea (thank you Jessee).  Anyway, headed to San Fran, the place I had only been once almost 26 years ago.  You see, Jen trapped me and left to go west to spawn our child, Kasey, and made me follow her.  I did and came to pick her up and bring her back to the east coast and start the unbelievable life I have about this time 26 years ago.  I remember it like it was yesterday and would not give up any of it for all the money in the world.  Not many people know this about us as I was in college at Albany and drove Jen back in her crappy Subaru to begin our life.  What a decision and what a good one! 

Oh, Shout out to little Alex for asking to be shouted out to. 

Everyone in CA drives in your freak’n blind spot.  In NY these people would all be dead or have right front damage to their cars.   The Golden Gate Bridge is awesome and we drove downtown to pick up Jessee and Alex and go to Alcatraz.  We went to a foo foo lunch (5 star) that ended up being great).  They had farm to market meat that is hand fed, massaged before slaughter and listens to classical music until their demise.  The food was great and out waiter (male) had painted nails that matched my toe nails (welcome to San Fran).  And, the tour was great and I was glad to go, especially with Jen, who loves prisons.  Took a “Cellfie” in a Cell (Jessee) and even farted in the “hole” with a bunch of people in there. 

For some reason, I am whistling 80-90’s sitcom theme songs and old commercials (I am stuck on band-aids and band-aids are stuck on me).  I don’t know why and maybe some 70’s in there but you know whistling is a lost art.  Also, I always have the need to have my top right shoulder scratched.  Not sure why but it is always that point.   Jen is getting sick of doing this for me. 

Went for a nice walk on the Golden Gate Bridge park and cooked some really nice steaks tonight.  Headed to NAPA tomorrow and cannot wait. Wine and an IPA Beer festival.  You could not write a better script for me.  I hope a get a good grade?
