Paradise and Onion Rings

Since we won't be riding this weekend, Jerry and I are squeezing in some rides during the week. Yesterday we did Paradise Loop. We rode well and averaged around 12 mph which for us is just fine. We took a short break in downtown Tiburon, but by and large rode the loop straight through. It was only a 22 mile ride, but saddle time is saddle time.
After the ride I went into Sf to do some prep for this weekend. I registered with a wholesale grocer and picked up a few things. Then I went to the SF AIDS Foundation. They are graciously lending me percolators and a cold drink dispenser for the weekend.
The evening was spent with my friend Thom. We went to see Art Spiegelman and Chris Ware talk about their "graphic novels," which, as Chris said, sounds like pornography. I really liked Chris, though he was a little too self-deprecating.
Before hearing them speak, we went to Cafe Rigolo, down the street from the SF JCC and right by Thom's and my former place of work. A little strange to be right there, but worth it for the onion rings. They are thin and crisp and addictive. Those, coupled with a tuna melt through me off any semblance of weight control, but every now and then, you gotta do what you gotta do...
