Yesterday's pleasure was a walk with the neighbor's dog down the Hetch Hetchy trail to a coffee shop. The dog is just the right size for an apartment dog, some sort of short haired terrier mut, with wonderfully expressive ears, doleful eyes, and an enthusiasm for "covering" his markings that is no where near where he marked. We arrived to find the shop closed, because i misread the map and we'd headed for a branch that is open only workdays. We headed up a street to the main shop, and ended instead at a Deli and Donut place, because it's patio was so welcoming.

The interior was a bit of a greasy spoon, but i should think we'll return. I'm on the look out for "hang outs" that we can walk to. While there are nice places down town, there's a Castro St premium. This place seemed inexpensive and with a lovely patio facing a parking lot instead of a busy street. The coffee shop was on the return path to our home. I can imagine waiting for Christine get coffee there to take to the Deli & Donuts place on some summer morning.

We sat under an umbrella as the day was a bit warmer than the temperature in our apartment hinted. i bought a few drinks from the cooler and got a small bowl of water for the dog. The dog was in heaven, snuffling under the nearby tables and vacuuming up food. A high chair proved to be particularly delightful.

Trying to transition to eastern time quickly, so I ate lunch on the first leg of my flight. I only have moments in dallas before boarding the flight to ohio....
