    Wednesday I came into work down Market mid day.  I wanted to go riding after work but there was a fair chance of thunderstorms so I went and hung out with Mr. Chris and David instead and then headed home Howard to 11th to Folsom to 15th to Market to 17th to Ord. 

    Thursday I came into the office Market to Laguna to McAllister to Polk to California.  I stopped at the top of Nob Hill for a couple of pics.  This is pretty Huntington Park:

    The Fairmont hotel:

    After work I went for a ride.  The first after work ride of more than 10 miles I'd done since before the family reunion in July.  Argh.  I headed off Sutter to Fillmore to Clay to Spruce to Washington where I stopped for a pic of my favorite view of the north bay:

    I took Washington to Arguello to Lake.  This preety house is between 22nd and 23rd.  Mr. Poe isn't wild about the color, which is a fair criticism, but I love the gorgeous deco maya revival detail and the pretty princess tree in the front yard:

    I continued on Lake.  This fabulous house in Sea Cliff has recently been redone and is super fantastic.  I love everything about it:

    I continued on Lake to Camino Del Mar and into Lincoln Park where I stopped for some pics of the Golden Gate Bridge:

    This is the presidio from the same vantage point.  There are many more structures there than you think that there are:

    I headed up to the Palace of the Legion of Honor which looked fantastic as usual.  They've got a Man Ray exhibit on now so visiting there is now on my list:

    I headed down to 34th to Balboa and out to the beach.  It was perfect:

    I took the Great Highway to JFK and headed into Golden Gate Park.  I headed over to the Music Concourse and got a nice pic of the De Young:

    Sutro Tower:

    I took MLK to 9th to Judah to 7th into Laguna Honda to Portola to Corbett to Ord and home for dinner.  After dinner we took the dogs out and then headed home to get ready for work. 

    I joined 24 hour fitness today.  I went there like a decade ago but I stopped going because I prefer to work out outside but as I get older my desire to work out when it's cold and wet has waned and I'm thinking it might be a good time to revisit the gym.  They had a great deal on facebook that was month to month and I figured that if I went and I hated it then at least I didn't have a contract and it's only $40 a month (with towel service!) so I'm not gonna get cheaper than that.  Developing.
