Blue, bbq, and warm weather.
This is the best place I've been to in a long time:
http://www.score.org/success_bo_barbeque.html I have not had ribs in a very long time. They were delicious. It is interesting how so many of my favorite eating experiences are in the suburbs. Bbq in Lafayette; pie in Palo Alto; coffee in Palo Alto; focaccia in Woodside; soba and udon in Berkeley. Etc., etc. San Francisco is filled with over-priced, "California" cuisine that require the patience for a 2-hour sit down meal. I prefer counter service and a relaxed atmosphere.
I threw another going away party for yet another departing associate. And yet I remain at the firm. Sigh.
Watched The Great Gatsby last night. I really like the party scenes. Watching them dance the Charleston, jump into the fountain and frolic, etc. In my life, at least, the only time people seem ebullient and festive are at weddings. It is too bad.
