Congrats, Stephanie! Welcome Baby Sammy!!!
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay baby Sammy!!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Well, fortunately I'm going out with the doc tonight, so I can review my symptoms and see what he says. I'm inclined to stop the Ocella right away, too.

Welcome Sammy!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Congratulations Stephanie and welcome Samuel!
Congrats on moving in, Lee!
My kids built a fort so they could read books in it. They drive me crazy it's true, but then they do things like that and I get all happy inside.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hooray for Samuel!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, work does not start for at least another week.
OK, then. BUT STILL.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Welcome to the world, Sam.
Matilda and I got back from an outing on Haight Street which involved nabbing a used copy of Enchanted at Amoeba, then a coloring book at Booksmith. She wanted ice cream at "Tom and Jerry's" but when we got there, it was closed ("Back in 10 minutes!"), so I said "Let's check to see if that new ice cream store is open."
Which was very unlikely because they've been working on the new ice cream place for ten months, and saying they were going to open every week since October.
But the whole Cole Valley neighborhood has been excited for it to open because (a) we have no local ice cream parlor except for the Ben & Jerry's on Haight; and (b) it was going to have an old fashioned ice cream soda bar.
We walked over and it was open! And mobbed! And the new staff were very nice and completely inefficient and took forever on every order because they hadn't gotten their system down. But folks were patient and we stayed for our order.
The ice cream itself was fine - though not a patch on Bi-Rite. However, the real action seems to be at the Soda Bar where they've got mixologists who've created their own house-made extracts and tinctures, and they're using old-fashioned phosphates and "excinct lactart" and are doing vintage soda jerk style drinks with the artisan flavors.
Like their milkshake (which is "shaken with milk, egg, and ice in the old fashioned style") that uses rye-based butterscotch syrup, egg, milk, malted cream and blackstrap molasses.
Or their Classic Wild Cherry Phosphate which has house-made tart cherry syrup, cherry bark tincture, acid phosphate, gum foam and soda. (Comes with a warning that cherry bark tincture isn't good for people on blood thinners. Who knew?)
Their Crush (fresh fruit based sodas) called "A Lover's Game" is muddled fresh raspberries, house chocolate syrup and soda. That sounds good.

Art Crawl!!!
Wow, that does sound good.
Sounds like a splendid outing.
