Done yesterday (20120212 Su)

[mdlbear]

Hmm. Mixed. Distinctly mixed. Had bagels and lox for brunch (well, actually, Colleen had bagels and lox, I had my lox on a gluten-free "English" muffin, and the YD had hers neat. Then we headed up to San Francisco, intending to go to the DeYoung Museum, which the YD needed to visit for her art history class.

The parking lot was full, and most entrances to Golden Gate Park were blocked; there must have been something going on there. So we fell back to Plan B: the Cantor Museum at Stanford. The Cantor has a huge collection of Rodin sculptures; I love it. Colleen and I had a blast.

The YD was bored. And unfortunately, I misinterpreted her sitting down and saying "I'm done" as meaning *"done with the museum" rather than "done with this gallery", so Colleen and I left her there while we explored the upstairs. This proved to have been a big mistake; she was in tears at having been abandoned.

We took her out to dinner, partly as compensation, and partly because I was starving and didn't want to cook. We went to Jasmine, our favorite local Chinese place. We hadn't been there in several months; they seem to have a new chef and a slightly different menu. Yum.

But I didn't get much else done. A little work toward replacing the audio on the Conflikt concert page with a better recording, but didn't actually get it done. Blarg.

I also found out that the Westercon 65 web site is out of date and woefully short on contact information. Anyone out there know who I should contact about a filk concert gig? (Hint: not Rick Weiss; that's part of the "out of date" thing.)

A few links in the notes.

  * afternoon:  deYoung museum.  Well, not exactly.  No parking in SF, so went
    to plan B: the Cantor Museum at Stanford.  Colleen & I enjoyed it, of
    course; the YD was bored, and I misunderstood when she said "I'm done" and
    thought she meant the whole trip, not just the room.  Kinda disastrous.
  * Dinner:  Chinese, at Jasmine.  YD's request, and we haven't been there for
    a while and I've been craving Chinese for months.  Yum.
  * submit panelist form at Westercon website; no usable contact info.
    Rick Weiss is no longer on the committee, so...

Please note that John F. Kennedy Drive is closed on Sundays from Transverse Drive to McLaren Lodge.

Thanks. That accounts for the road blockages, but the museum garage was full, and we couldn't have parked on a road anyway because of Colleen's mobility problems.
