nothing beats a springtime day in San Francisco.

[thoreau]

nothing. :)

I parked the car up by Tom's as I was heading there for an afternoon hot-tub social - - and then walked down the saturn steps to the castro - taking pictures as I went.

Bears in da tub, Everett the Barber, the beautiful beautiful Miss Kate and more

Moi on the Saturn Steps



Castro Flag mid-flurl



Castro Flag



Castro Theater with it's spanking new restored exterior



Meet Everett - the owner and operators of "Razors" and my barber



Moi, Tom, David, David, and John in the tub (many square dancers may recognize David and David from the cult - or David (on the left) as the Pres. of the Board of the SFGMC)



Miss Kate when I got home - very excited to get out and about



The new open park which is 1/2 a block from the house.... with it's new fences and benches for the dog area



The benches have been painted with a special paint that is resistant to "tagging" or spray paint "art" - it's pretty but good lord it took forever to get finished. Yeesh!

Nice pics.
It snowed on us today.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

I know that a lot of the country had a tough weekend.

It's nearly 60 degrees and sunny here. spring is sprunging. (sprunging?)

[bjarvis.livejournal.com]

Um, David & David? Michael & Michael.

BTW, Michael L's birthday is tomorrow (Sunday).

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry - Michael Levy sfleatherbear - on the left - and David Goldberg. The social was for Mr. Levy's birthday. (and to celebrate 1000 copies of the book)

[bjarvis.livejournal.com]

Doh, yes, that's what I meant to write... *sigh* Brain turned off earlier today. Reboot required.

And congrats on the 1000 copies sold!

And I really like photo #1... :-)

[geometrician.livejournal.com]

Bear soup! RAH!

[redhochipe.livejournal.com]

Nice pics. Thanx for sharing! How do the dogs stay in the park with only chain fences?

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

an obvious design flaw. it was a giant expensive cosmetic upgrade. nothing less.

[nudewoody.livejournal.com]

so that's where all of SF's $ went!

[coryblank.livejournal.com]

Great photos, Robert. What a beautiful day in the City! :)

[macduff131.livejournal.com]

i've been looking through my SF pictures lately...i miss it! beautiful beautiful city...

[pinner123.livejournal.com]

Great pic, but man are your bears tiny. :)

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

petite bears is the term they/we/I/etc prefer. :) ah yes - - yet another lovely sub-label. Petite bears. (big giggle)

[joebehrsandiego.livejournal.com]

... or "pocket bears" (my favorite!). :)

What a beautiful day, as you said. The Castro Theatre looks great!

[excessor.livejournal.com]

Your diet and exercise regimen are paying off. Good for you!

sfleatherbear is a sweetheart, isn't he? And David G (2nd from right) is such a nice man. And he can both square dance and two-step!

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

thanks for the kudos on my diet and excercise. That means a lot coming from someone like you. I still have a journey ahead of me before I lose some of my less upsetting body image issues.

and Mr. Goldman? could be the turning point to me breaking out my cowboy boots :) and joining the cult.

[excessor.livejournal.com]

I think it's Goldberg. And you could do far worse than him. We were just talking today about how odd it is that haven't joined our Cult. We'll get you, my pretty…and your little dog, too!

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

Goldberg. it's true. wpps.

:)

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

is there a Reelers group for neophytes? how does it work?/ or is there some naked spanking ritual first? - (que monty python) and after the spanking the oral sex!

[apparentparadox]

Don't look now, but I think that Tom was a member of the cult at one point in time.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

Right - he did mention that. I might as well BE a member of the cult as many people in my life as there are involved.

[ubermunkey.livejournal.com]

Oh my look at that. You dress right!

Yes I'm that much of a pig.

Cheers great pics

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

*blush*

I dress however appropriate it is for each separate occasion. :)

[ubermunkey.livejournal.com]

;-)
LOL
It is a great pic Robert. I was just being a bit randy and having fun giving you a hard time.

Cheers
It looks like it was a LOVELY day.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

teasing me is perfectly cool :) and I honestly didn't realize how much of a "dressy occasion" i was demonstrasting in that photo.

[bearfuz.livejournal.com]

1. You way sexay! And showin basket. Rah!
2. 3. & 4. Way ghey!
5. Cute! Definitely ready for a cut, though, I agree!
6. Great bear soup. I'm sure you're leaving the "David and David" unedited just to attract people down to the comments to see who's corrected you. ;-) So where was Michael's Michael??
7. Di-VA!
8. & 9. Pretty, but... form over function on the fences?

Mwah!

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

And....you couldn't ask the guy....about that CD...I have been trying to get......

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

actually I did miss thing - so hold your horses, Missy

[septimuswarren.livejournal.com]

I assume that only good, clean Christian things were going on in that tub. What a nice day. You should go see Peter Bogdanovich. He'd be totally worth it.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

champagne and chocolate cupcakes were on tap in the tub. I'm sure that good christian things go on ALLTHE TIME in that tub. (just don't bring or try to use a DNA light on the deck) LOL!

[bukephalus.livejournal.com]

YAY! for a beautiful day and great photos. Damn, hot tub complete with cocktails and cupcakes!? I obviously don't know the right people. Or live in the right place. Color me green with envy.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

we'll throw a cupcake and champagne social for you in THAT tub when you visit. (hint dropped here)
