Family visit
My mom and my sister continued their visit, and my mom's friend Alex took us all over the city on a great tour -- Bernal Hill, South of Market, the Embarcadero, the Marina, and over the Golden Gate Bridge and out to Muir Woods. It was fabulous.
After an hour's walk or more in Muir Woods, under a cloudy sky, we went to The Stinking Rose for dinner. I love garlic.
At City Lights, during our little tour of North Beach, I got three books, on war crimes, the philosophy of mathematics, and the control of nature. (Conveniently enough, the books are titled Crimes of War, Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy, and The Control of Nature. This should leave fairly little doubt as to what each is about.)
I never really get out into the City or into the Bay Area unless people come to visit. My mom and Rebecca are only going to be here through Friday, but we should get to do a bit more last-minute touring.
