As promised, here are pictures from our hike. This is one of my favorite hikes in one of my favorite places. This is the best time of year to go there. Wildflowers are in bloom everywhere, and the open areas are filled with lush, long grasses of different colors that sway in the breeze. Later in the season the grass will die, and the hillside will be brown. It was nice to get away from straight lines and noise, if only for five hours or so.
Simpsons quote of the day. Hugh: "You know, I've attempted to enjoy your family on a personal level, on an ironic level, as a novelty, as camp, as kitsch, as cautionary example...nothing works."
Finally (finally!) the weather cooperated and I was able to go hiking this weekend. skp and I made the trek up to the top of Sonoma Mountain. More pictures coming soon.
I was stuck in traffic yesterday because there was an accident on the golden gate bridge. If you look at the picture above, you can see the lineup of stopped cars stretching off into the golden sunset.
