Highlights: Our “Fall of Jennifer" outing today was to the Legion of Honor museum in San Francisco. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon spent leisurely strolling through numerous galleries and taking in the history and breathtaking levels of talent and skill. I have been there before, but seldom spent as much time examining the collection with as much intention and awe. Some pottery, sculptures, paintings and glasswork date back over 2,500 years, when the tools available to create such things were few, making the details and artistry all the more impressive. After 2 hours, my brain was full. But we will return and be more prepared to spend more time with a picnic lunch break and our earbuds for the audio tour option. We went down to the Cliff House area, checked out the new visitor's center there and made a mental note to return soon and explore that area further.

Insights: Today is the 9th anniversary of Lucky's adoption by Linda and the kids. I remember it well, as I do the struggles walking him, his hyperactivity, how he would chase an RC car controlled by Tommy in the courtyard until his paws were bleeding, how an attempt to sedate him slightly made me concerned for his well-being, how he came to stay with us at Matson once or twice until he became our dog by default. He's a good, sweet, playful dog and a joy to have in our family. Happy "Birthday, Lucky."
