Manifesto Bicycles is starting up its Sunday morning Bike Church again. Featuring bicycles (lots), music and raffles. There is also half off coffee next door at Subrosa Coffee (best in East Bay).

Jingle Meister Parry Gripp is at it again with his latest video.

Took a trip up to Vallejo to visit Mr. Zorko. After picking him up, we went for a beautiful scenic trip up to Napa and then to St. Helena, home of Taylor’s Refresher where they have the best darn, tasty burgers. Got some fries and Fat Tire beer to wash it down. For dessert, a decadent green tea milk shake! Good thing bootcamp workouts start in a week…

Growing up I loved eating cereal. Lots of cereal! Cereal brought me tremendous joy, especially, the brands that my parents forbid me to eat. Many of these cereals have left the planet and are now only a memory. Here is one of my old faves, the curious Pink Panther Flakes and Nerds cereal because, it’s such a ridiculous tribute to a candy – which most cereal resembles anyway!

I just discovered that Barack Obama, then a little known Illinois State Senator, was on a pilot episode of the Chicago [original] version of Check Please… The San Francisco version on KQED is one of my favorite shows. The show features three regular people that share their favorite restaurants and the other two guests check it out and share their opinions.
