8/01 - Simon cheers, "USA! USA!"

Of course, USA was not in this swim meet… Still, it was nice to see something interesting on the kitchen TV at work for a change.

This has been a week of too many meetings!! Hoping to be more free range the rest of this week...

3/26 - Simon finds a FiDi fixer-upper

Simon thought this newspaper box might make a nice little house for him, but I told him it was a money pit.

I’ve walked by this section of Market Street a zillion times, and I never noticed this plaque until Simon pointed it out to me.  Who knew San Francisco played such a key role in slot machine history?  http://www.noehill.com/sf/landmarks/cal0937.asp

More history – about the ECV, who sponsored the plaque:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_Clampus_Vitus
Again, who knew?  Thanks, Simon!  What an excellent history lesson you found us today.

2/07 - Look out, Simon! Predators behind you!

Simon loved the pretty lamps and the fancy ceiling of this building.  He made kissy sounds, but didn’t realize there were eagles and lions right behind him…  (I scooped him into my pocket, and we got away in the nick of time!)

Simon says "Be my valentine!" He sends you guys all the love in his drippy heart.

2/06 - Simon's city adventures: from sweet to snarly

Simon saw a bowl of sugar as big as a lake (to him) and wanted to dive in.

We had an after work meeting.  Simon found a "new wave" bus stop, which meant something else entirely to me.  (Ahem. #old)

Here, Simon left his heart in San Francisco -- at City Hall.

He was too polite to howl at then (almost) full moon, but I thought "Someone needs to keep the city crazy."

I was about to howl, but then we saw a big dragon, and we crept quietly to the BART station.
