It’s a good tired. Last night, Hope, Jason & went to see the the Go Gos at the Independant (pics to come). Then today, Hope and I drove down to a nature reserve outside Palo Alto where we saw a Kingfisher, some hawks, egrets, and a funny little bird with a yellow spotted belly. It’s Hope’s birthday tonight, and we’re grilling portabellos, monkfish, veggies and cheese, alongside figs on rosemary skewers. Soon we’ll be sleepy and full, bundled against the October night air with red wine and grilled figs in our bellies.
