Nonetheless, the next day I got up and headed to the airport where I had this bagel
and coffee
while looking back at the security people who had confiscated my wonderful Portland snow globe even before I could remember to take a picture of it.
My next stop was a more standard hotel room in San Francisco with only one bathroom
and otherwise pleasant facilities
plus a nice view down tot he street.
I went out for a walk and to find some lunch and saw the standard San Francisco street scene
before ordering a bowl of vegetarian chili
from this menu
and then finishing with this dessert
and taking a picture of the restaurant before getting ready for the evening event.
I was so surprised at the attendees at the evening event that I forgot to flash
but then recovered and captured this picture of Ron Stoltz from college years and Marc Dinkin from high school (and earlier) years who surprised me by attending the talk.
I also posed with Ron and Marc to remember times long past.
