Pretty epic day as far as activities go. Didn't sleep so well on th couch, pretty restless due to gerd issues, heat and fan noises. Didn't get nearly enough sleep but toughed it out. We made it out early, after walking Scottie, and hit Muir Woods right at 9.30 without any serious traffic issues. The walk was awesome. Jen and Jeri hit it off and talked a great deal but I tried to remain in the moment and really be present within the magnitude of this forest setting. I even made an effort to just touch a few of the trees, high up, where there seemed to be more life, and just feel the sense of something so old and alive, and so instrumental in the survival of our planet and species. These groves are up to 2K years old. That's worthy of appreciation, IMO. We "meandered" back home, deviating to explore Fort Baker, then Baker beach, Hwy 1, Pacifica, and through HMB to 92. Napped, much needed, until we headed to The C Restaurant in the Clairmont on Cannery Row. The meal was phenomenal. Cetralla level. Exelempary. Took a 2015 MR Malbec and the recent Renwood Old Vine Zin. Both were wonderful. Long drive down and back but worth it, and filled with great conversation. Tommy helped managed a situation with Linda where her cell phone was disabled, retrieving it for my triage efforts tomorrow. Hoping I can revive it and get it back to her asap. I'm so grateful to both of them for their flexibility this weekend. Tomorrow is a low key day without any plans beyond just hanging out and doing whatever. My mom's coming for dinner in the PM.
