Fishdr comes to CA!

[SadieKate]

Yeah, I just can't do it. I need to be close by. While my dad's weight has stabilized we're on 24 hour watch for his fever to spike. He's had a low grade fever for a long time. The doc is borderline about putting him in the hospital for the battery of tests that need to be run. My brother is out of town for 4 days so I hate for both of us to be gone at the same time.

MP - I was thinking about being extra bitter, but if that was your plan I can change to something else. Or we could be twins.

[jobob]

I'll be (bitter)sweet.

[SadieKate]

What the heck. You should all just be (bitter)sweet for the day. Did one one buy the (semi)sweet?

[SadieKate]

Oh my ganache! Did you see the recipes on their site? Even a Devil's Food Cake which Bubba loves. Hmmmm........

Plus, the link to the store is there should you need to replenish any of your stash. If they have any of the limited edition Kumasi Sambirano at the Ferry Building, buy it. That was some of the best chocolate I've ever had.

Chocolate.... yummmm.....

Hey Snap - I'm actually being "(extra) bitter" today. Something about jeans day at the office made me want to be - especially when I'm the boss. I may not be so bitter tomorrow. So go ahead and wear it. I'll be rushing to get clean from my run in the morning, so who knows what I'll end up wearing.... stand warned all of you.

SK, sorry to hear about your Dad but I can understand wanting to be there.

Well, I have to work tomorrow so someone post if there's dinner plans or call, I know at least Bikerz has my number.

[Bike Goddess]

Me too! Please call me here at work- 984 9395. I'll be here ALL day (well, until 6:00 anyway)

Should I bring a camera?

[cindysue]

see y'all at 1pm in front of the Ferry Bldg.

[bikerz]

I'm off to catch a fish at SFO!

[jobob]

see you later !

[Trek420]

sigh just another day here at work stuck here till 5.

[cindysue]

word from SFO is the plane has been delayed by about 1/2 hour but bikerz still expects to get to the Ferry Bldg at about 1:00pm.....

[bikerz]

(I guess everyone else is still sleeping off the exceses of last night's carousing with FishDr!)

Wow - did we have fun! Winddance and I met Fish at SFO, and (after leading her to BART by a somewhat circuitous route through both the domestic and international terminals ) escorted her to her hotel and from there to the Ferry building where me met the rest of the gang: MP and PP, V and Thom, CindySue, MelissaM, Jobob, and Snap. We all great lunches, admired V's Triple Crown jacket, had a group photo taken by Thom, and browsed here and there in the Ferry Building before splitting up for the afternoon.

Snap, Jo, Melissa, Windance, Fish and I then walked down to Pier 39, looked at the seals, and found a place for an afternoon libation (we were - ahem - a little thirsty ) We walked back to the Embarcadero for a fun dinner at Fuzios where BikeGoddess joined us, then a leisurely stroll back up market to FishDoc's hotel for a nightcap at the bar.

I'm not sure I've laughed so much in a while - thanks everyone for a really fun afternoon and evening! Fish - I know we wore you out - I hope you have recovered!

I hope the rest of the gang can post photos soon - here are a few I took (that actually came out!):
