spiffed and sunny

So - - it's Monday. A sunny (albeit cool) Monday in San Francisco. I had a lovely workout - chatter with Mr. Jeff (beg1n) - then a lovely sunshine walk with Miss Kate with a big giant cup of Kona. The park was sparkling this morning (most likely because of morning sprinklers than anything else, but... still.) and the dogs were in a really playful mood. Miss Kate has made friends with a female beagle puppy named Poppy. It's great fun to see Miss Kate play like a puppy at nearly 9 years old.

We came back home and I packed up my lunch (in my bukephalus provided Carebears lunchbox) and headed to work. I was a bit spiffed this morning - because I'm going to the Bay Area Theater Critics Awards Dinner tonight with Tom Kelly. I walked into work this morning (where I'm usually very casual) and folks were like "So Bob? heading to a job interview?" and I was "If I were heading to a job interview I'd soooo be wearing a tie." LOL. okay - so I thought it was funny - what+ever.

David emailed this morning and said someone had a heart attack and collapsed at Sundance last night. He's pretty sensitive to those kinds of things - and said he wished I'd been there to hold his hand and keep him "safe". What a lovely note! I feel sorry for the poor chap that was ill - but David said that he talked to one of the nurses and that it "looked a lot worse that it was" - which hopefully means a quick recovery for the poor chap.

David and I had a good chat yesterday about things like Sundance and the cult (squaredancing) that we both really value our hobbies - (me: writing, acting, painting, etc.) (him: square dancing, Sundance, math magazines and science magazines) - and that we're not going to be one of those dating pairs connected at the hip like siamese twins. That felt like a real healthy conversation. So it was why I stayed home - got mellow - and did some journaling and writing last evening instead of going two-stepping) The ladies here at work have dubbed him "Dr. Boyfriend" - which is pretty funny. I'm really resisting giving an official nickname of any sort. (so far)

Busy day at work and lunch with Eric Burkett - (a possible roommate!) - and then off to the theater thang this evening. ttyl.
