Robert and David at the Moose Cafe in Mendocino, CA

---

Day One - great food, great company and serious Kateywalks. YAY!

Drove up through the countryside - laughing and chatting the whole way. Got to town - checked in but our cabin wasn't ready - so we wandered into Mendocino and had a FABULOUS lunch at the Moose Cafe. (seriously!) There was a wedding party that was like a "men's lunch" - of oh - 20 or 30 obviously gay men. Everyone dressed perfectly - loud laughing. and it like we'd never left San Francisco. We took Kateydog on a nice sniffpatrol through the Blackberry bushes and the coastal trail. Mendocino is very proud of it's native skunk population (they even have a "skunk train" you can take a ride on....) Our cabin is remarkable with a horizon to horizon view of the ocean. David and I are having a remarkable time - we're off to dinner in a bit.

Our lodging (The Inn At Schoolhouse Creek) is SOOOO dogfriendly! Katey got her own little care package - including the latest issue of BARK magazine (the modern dog culture magazine) and a new Bay area newspaper called "Bay Woof". It included an article "Heel, Sit, Stay - Beyond Obedience" that I figured maybe some of you might enjoy. (cackle)

The magazine and whole uber-dogfriendliness is nothing like I've seen for a cabin set up like this before. Even peanut butter treats and a nice pair of dog bowls for our stay. Miss Kate is just as "at home" as we are. Tomorrow we'll get out picture taking - perhaps take a run on the Skunk Train - (giggle) - we also are pondering a horseback ride on the beach depending on weather.

This little minibreak is exactly what the doctor ordered!

Bark and the boys

and wireless in our little cabin, Yay again!

Your friend is gorgeous. He needs to wear a lot less clothing for these pictures...

And not "American Bitch"?

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

well - we asked for "Nuetered Quarterly" but they didn't have it.

[danbearnyc.livejournal.com]

That would have worked, too, but no, I was thinking of the movie Best in Show and the magazine the two lesbians founded after their poodle came in second place.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

I wholeheartedly agree - on both counts.

The Don Quixote look, is starting to grow on me…I guess at 40 you can finally grow a bear(d).

Glad you're getting some good quality R&R, with a good friend.

I've had brunch at Moose's restaurant in San Francisco, and if it's as good as it was in 1998, can highly recommend it.
