    The baby only got me up once last night.  Huzzah!  I got up on time and walked Rufus and then headed out Corbett to Portola to Woodside to Dewey to Taravel and down to the coast.  I realized I'd forgotten my wallet (d'oh) so I headed up the Great Highway to Judah and then rode home Judah into Parnassus to Clayton to 17th and home.  Mr. Poe was still home!  Here he is holding the baby:

    And here I am with all of them:

    Ashley declared war first on the snowman on the tree skirt:

    And then on Rufus:

    I came down Market into work.  This building is at 7th and Market:

    And the beautiful Golden Gate theatre which hopefully someone will restore before it falls over:

    Do you remember Red Gorilla??  To me they epitomized the excesses of the dot com era because they went bankrupt before they could occupy the incredibly expensive offices that they had taken in prime retail space on Market St. The building, which had been vacant since they went bankrupt in 2000 has been town down and something new is going in.  I don't know if it's a new building or an extension of the beautiful building next to it:

    And then I continued on Market to Sansome and into work.
