One other thing I did while up north was see the How Berkeley Can You Be? parade by chance. Usually, I have a very strong desire to flee from parades, but this is the only one I can think of that I was actually entertained by. Nudists, fundamentalists, anti-circumcisionists, Klingons, Storm troopers (via the Death Star), motorized cupcakes, beach-comber samurai, cars transformed into: a giant radio-flyer wagon, an X-wing with R2D2, random hippie crap, a fish scaled with CDs, etc... and a little bit more added up to a level of razor sharp self-mocking that made me laugh out loud.

Unfortunately, John Adams new opera "Dr. Atomic" opens next weekend in SF, not that I would have been able to get tickets anyway.

More unfortune, I am no longer in possession of a digital camera, so text will fill these pages until I can win a bid on a cheap one off of eBay.

Fortunately: YY cooked some really good Japanese curry last night at the party to welcome MW home. A few bottles of wine helped the flavor as well.
