"How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?"
I've bought my tickets for the Sound of Music Sing-A-Long , which has been going on in London's North End for years but has now has a spot at SF's Castro Theater. Now I must commence making a costume/play clothes out of the drapes, loudly humming "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?" My mother and sister impetuously stopped by for a visit. Heather was deeply charmed by my enormous old cat Shred and I believe the feeling was mutual, as all animals adore Heather. We ate Zack's amazing deep-dish pizza (10 minutes for a table, 30 minute wait for the pizza itself) and then we four scurried to the Crate & Barrel Outlet where a lovely, scratched and dinged dining table was purchased. (It's gonna be scratched & dinged anyway.) After they left, Steven and I had the loveliest shared dinner at Pearl : Lovely Tuna Poke, Bruschetta, Peekytoe crab cakes, Black seared cod (big slippery sensual flakes) with tempura portabella slices and a very satisfying gelato
