Daylight Saving Time is, as usual, messing with my sleep schedule and everyone is crowding me on the sidewalk with their sudden ambition to go outside and run.  It’s funny that as soon as I got back from Tahoe, the sun decided to come out and the rain stopped.  Hmph.

Anyhoo, I spent a good part of this first weekend of spring outside and in a sports bar. It’s the beginning of March Madness so I was at Pete’s on Friday night.  With the warm weather and the buzz of college basketball, the bar was PACKED.  Luckily Victor got a table upstairs and we could see three different games at the same time.  By the end of the night, Cal had won and a drunk guy standing next to us stole one of my cookies!  I SO wanted to punch his lights out but he was too sweaty and gross to deal with.

On Saturday, Jesse was rail meat again for a race that went out past the Golden Gate Bridge and into the Pacific Ocean. They came in 5th out of the 7 teams competing and he had an awesome time.  I guess racing in the ocean is different than in the bay since he had to go out and buy a knife, harness, tether, beacon, and whistle.  Crazy!

Meanwhile, I took at walk to the Ferry Plaza and got a taste of the Kimchi Fried Rice at one of the newer stands.  It was pretty good but way too much for one person.

In the evening, I met up with the girls to celebrate Patty’s birthday.  She’s the one standing next to me in the photo.  We had to jump from bar to bar until we found the right one but we had a great time wandering the streets in heels.  I even got to stop for a late-night bowl of ramen before catching a cab home.

On Sunday, Jes went out for a leisurely sail with a different captain so I walked to Downtown to use my Gap coupon but ended up just picking up a pair of earrings.  At the end of the day, I met up with the boys at Pete’s again to watch Cal lose.  Better luck next year, Bears.  By the way, with all the upsets this year, my tournament picks have gone down the tubes.
