Today Patrick and I took BART then MUNI to Irving Street so that he could work in a coffee shop and so that I could work on Gail's website. On the way over, as we emerged from the tunnel that passes under Buena Vista Park, we both heard the driver say "Solid Gold" over the speaker system. We looked at each other wondering what would cause the driver to mention Solid Gold at this moment, and then we realized that we were at Carl & Cole Streets and that the MUNI driver's thick Asian accent combined with the inconsistent speaker sound quality that exists in MUNI trains created for us an amusing moment. Vicki's birthday dinner at Siam Bay in Oakland with Leslie, Josh, Manuela, Chaya, Judith, Mary, Alice, and four others whose names we missed. We got Vicki a purple mica tea light holder shaped like a lotus blossom.
