I arrived into Oakland on Wednesday morning. It was an early morning with my flight being at 7 a.m. and everything went smoothly considering I was on Southworst…oh I mean Southwest. I go to the rental car place and she gave me two options. I knew I didn’t like the first one, so I went with the Prius. If only I had remembered what a Prius was; a hybrid. Now I have nothing against saving the environment but seriously, make the car easier to work. After having trouble starting it as I left the rental place, I got stuck in a parking lot for about 15 minutes because it wouldn’t start. I was so incredibly frustrated and I finally had to call the Avis roadside assistance. The lad got a little snappy with me but eventually helped me figure out the stupidity that is a hybrid. Ahh.
Next. Well, the next issue that made my day “fun” was something that I probably shouldn’t discuss but all in all, made my lunch date (a press luncheon) in the city challenging.
Next: From the lunch, I had to find the offices of Comcast. It was about 2 p.m. and naturally it was a busy time to be going around a strange city. I found the street, parked and suddenly realized I was about 6 blocks from the office. I decided to walk and why not, it’s San Francisco. I love San Francisco. As I walked, some random guy walking next to me made a comment on someone walking with a very expensive painting. We chatted for two blocks and parted ways. So funny. So random. I loved that! Finally, an upbeat part to my day.
From there, things picked up a little. I drove to my hotel about 30 minutes north in Sonoma and went to pick up our truck drivers. The rest of the night was pleasant and I was thankful my craziness was over.
Thursday I was rushing to get Jamie Hacking, one of my riders, to a pre-game interview at AT&T Park in San Francisco. It was fun once we got there and the stress was reduced. I've included pictures.
And today? Well...basically i haven't met anyone that is more clumsy than me. Many trips and almost falls in front of lots of people. Thankfully no bruises.
I know…poor me. I had a bad day or two or three. But one thing that I love is that I can look at all that and laugh at it. Why take life so seriously? Exactly.
I’m including pictures from the past three days. Have fun. Talk soon. Miss everyone!
A view to the Golden Gate Bridge and yes i was standing in the middle of a busy street. What now?
Don and Dave as we go into Cline Winery. You can't come to wine country and not stop by one of the dozens of beautiful wineries.
I think he had a few too many.
This is Brian Wilson and Jamie. Wow...if only I liked the Giants.
I thought this was funny. The tall guy was close to 7 feet and the short guy was about 5'9". It was the movie Twins in real life.
Jamie and his dog cooling off. Even though i seem to favor French Bulldogs, he was such a cutey...the dog that is.
