Well, I finished! Had a great trip to San Fran w/friends, saw many people I know, ate some good food, oh, and I completed the 2nd half of the SF marathon, my 7th ½. You’d think they’d get easier, ahhhh.

Arrived Saturday in SF after flight was delayed an hour. Took the BART to the hotel, went to EXPO, then had a delicious lasagna for dinner. To bed early ‘cuz we were to be up at 4:45. The other gals in my room were doing the 1st ½ so had to get there by 6, even though my start wasn’t until 8:30.… Continue

At 10:10am on September 16, 2008, Bernice said…: Guess what? The LA studio is 8 minutes from my place (less than 3 miles). Is that a sign or what?! But I'd like to try it with you. I think that would be more fun. Dee is from Fountain Valley so I think we could have "our first" session in Long Beach. Let's schedule it :) I just hope they don't make us go up the pole upside down.

At 9:10pm on September 15, 2008, Julia said…: Thank you for hosting a wonderful party!

At 5:52pm on September 14, 2008, Bernice said…: Great party, great food, great hostess! Thanks, Barb! It was so nice to catch up. You gotta add the pole on your resume :) I BOW TO YOU!!!

Wine tasting and wine tour at the San Antonio Winery PLUS dim sum in Chinatown is our next project.
