The view of Moffitt-Long Hospital as I head south to work through the park.
The Dahlia garden is about the 1/2 way point on my walk. The flowers are insane, but perhaps rational, like Fibonacci.
My little desk in the Hematology lab. Characteristic items include Diet Pepsi bottle, camera case, sleeveless fleece, and pens inside foam tubes that make writing easier with a bum hand.
The view from the Hematology break room. You can just make out the Bay and the Bridge.
The view from the hill in GG Park. You can see both towers of the GG Bridge.
A lone magnolia blossom on Arguello.
One evening, Allison came down to the city and we went for drinks at the Tonga Bar in the Fairmont Hotel---major cheese Tiki bar. In fact, it was so over-the-top kitsch, it was cool. The bar was the old indoor pool. At intervals, it rained from (pipes hanging from) the frond-covered ceiling into the pool. The three-piece lounge act floated around the stage on a raft. And Allison and I shared a large rum drink with the longest straws I've ever seen.
My parents came out to visit me--or to get CLE credits and a free trip to San Francisco and visit me! We explored the city, including lunching at the Beach Chalet. My dad napped in my car as my mom and I hiked along the cliff coast in Lincoln Park. He also napped in my armchair while I watched Daily Show clips and my mom was at the ABA conference. Sunday we drove out to Berkeley and traipsed about the campus, finally heading up the hill for a clear view across the bay. Having driven across the Bay Bridge to get to Berkeley, we returned via the Richmond and Golden Gate Bridges on a ridiculously clear day. I love my mom and dad--they are so cute!
George's birthday was earlier this month. I wanted to sing him happy birthday in Canadian, his native language, but I was too embarrassed about my accent. Still, Birthday cake is the best kind of cake.

Ellie: The best way to communicate
with George is to say, "eh?" at the end of every sentence.
"About", of course is always pronounced "a-boot".
If you need a refresher course in Canadian, just come for a visit and we'll go SOUTH to his native land! Love, Aunt Bonnie
