Sunday turned into a beautiful day of connecting with old friends, making new friends and connecting with friends to experience art and sunshine. I started off the day with Eric and Mark. Mark is visiting from Minneapolis and met Eric and I for coffee...


Mark from Minneapolis, Moi and Eric Maltman



Then I came home and cleaned house - and took two breaks to SERIOUSLY reconnect over the phone with three of my most favorite people in the world. First, Lance - ([livejournal.com profile] althrman) - who I've known since June 1992 then Brett - ([livejournal.com profile] septimuswarren) - who've I've known since 1986, and then Drew - ([livejournal.com profile] bootedintexas) - whom - well.. he's been there since the beginning.....

All of these phone conversations were long, luxurious and delightful. All of them are doing SO SO well - - and are such dynamic special people. Humorously - Drew and I talked about how Joe ([livejournal.com profile] joebehrsandiego) was in Houston - and Drew should invite him over to be locked in the bathroom. (lol!)

Then I took Miss Kate for a long walk in the park followed by sitting against a tree in the park and starting "The Mayor of Castro Street: The Life and Times of Harvey Milk" by Randy Shilts. Lovely book! and a great time to re-read it.


Kirk (l) and Mr. P (r)



Then my friend Kirk picked me up and we met his impermeableness, Eric P. (forest ranger Eric)(pictured above) and Eric Maltman, for a walk through the Marie Antoinette exhibit at the Legion of Honor. The exhibit - by all accounts of the four of us that went - was a giant Yawn. They tried to create context - but it just wasn't there. It was a very weak exhibit. Holy Relics From Jerusalem and (separately) Anne Lebowitz photography are their next shows - - - and I'm sure they will be MUCH better.

On our way out of the park - I spied the San Francisco Holocaust Memorial. I posted pictures here. I'd never noticed it before - and it was very moving.

Eric M. headed on to other social obligations - but Mr. P, Kirk and I went and had dinner at Tommy's Mexican restaurant on Geary. Then Kirk and I took a loverly walk through the Castro and Duboce Triangle with Miss Kate. It was a tremendous, beautiful sunshine filled, friendship filled day.

woof!

Oh my GOODNESS!

Mark and Eric's beards are AMAZING! I have a friend with a similar beard... I like his party trick - think "Cousin It"... LOL

Looks like you're having LOTS of fun - as usual!

What beautiful beards! The men themselves are also very nice-looking! My beard is beginning to look a bit like theirs. I've been working on it for about 13 months now.

Mark is very cute - and smart - and eclectic.

He's online at http://www.bear411.com/ophidian and at http://www.myspace.com/animalswithmachinery

I have serious beard envy - I couldn't grow a beard like either of these guys. (so far, anyway) THey are both the bestest guys on top of it all.

All your friends are so good looking. But that makes sense -- like attracts like.

Wow! I'll take any opinion like that, no matter how humble. Thanks for the compliment!
