    Thursday I came down Market into work and headed home for lunch.  The new dog arrangement is working well and nobody's even complaining about it anymore.  My study is already noticeably less disgusting and everybody's being much better behaved.  I went for a nice ride after work.  I headed off down Columbus to Stockton and noted that the scaffolds are down from the spires of Sts. Peter and Paul's.  Hello gorgeous!:

    I continued on Stockton to North Point to Van Ness to Francisco to Laguna to Bay to Cervantes to Marina and into the Presidio.  I stopped at Crissy Field for a pic of the Golden Gate Bridge:

    The Lifecycle sent me a gift certificate to thank me for all the ride leading and I headed over to Sports Basement and got a new jersey with it that I'm going to wear on day 1.  It will remind me of how much fun I had training this year. I headed up to Lincoln and made my way over to Immigrant Point where I stopped for pics:

    Me:

    I came out of the Presidio at the 15th Ave gate and took Lake to 8th and into Golden Gate Park.  I went past the Music Concourse and then got on MLK and came out of the park at 9th and took that to Judah to 7th into Laguna Honda.  I stopped for a pic of Laguna Honda hospital.  It always reminds me of the Psycho-Neurotic Institute for the Very, Very Nervous:

    I continued on Laguna Honda to Portola to Corbett to Ord and home for dinner.  After dinner I walked the dogs and made another upside-down cake.  We still had a bunch of berries left over that one of Mr. Poe's student's had given him and I had to use them right away because ripe raspberries will turn on you faster than a republican senior when you tell them you're gonna replace Medicare with a voucher program (zing!).  So I made a raspberry and blueberry upside-down cake and it turned out really well.  All of the blueberry juice made the topping very dark but rest assured it wasn't burned at all:

    Here's what it looked like cut:

    After I was done cooking I cleaned up and went to bed.  It had been a very long day.
