Well I've made it! I'm in San Franciskie at cousin Brandon and Amanda's apartment. My trip down was made very nice/interesting by 3 ridesharers: Rick, Jamie, and Ko. Rick and Jamie are a couple from Martha's Vineyard Island of the coast of Massachusetts. Ko is a landscaper who lives in Berkeley but went to the U of O for a couple of years. Ko was by far the coolest of us all. I came in last. Rick and Jamie are true hippies fully equipped with braided beard and soaked tofu slices that they shared with Ko and me. Rick and Jamie actually spent the night on Kathy's futon in Eugene. Poor train scheduling made it so...so we picked up Ko at 9 am from the Wandering Goat and made our way. There was much talk about Amma an Indian spiritual master who Rick and Jamie were going to see here in San Ramon. For more information visit amma.org She has hugged over 25,000,000 people. What?!?!?!?! Anyhow, Ko had spent a year in India and had heard of her as well. I was unaware that she probably will win the nobel peace prize sooner or later. A good trip down. Mt. Shasta was to die for also.
Ko made a great comment about some rolling hills that we saw on the way over on 80. He said that they looked like people laying down under sheets. And indeed they did! An interesting charater this Ko. A very cool dude.
When Rick and Jamie spent the night i made steel cut oats this morning for all of us and some great Jittery Joe's coffee that Ben and Katie blessed me with. Tonight, Amanda made a delectible chicken/gnocchi dish with salad and onions...mmmmm. Tomorrow be thanksgiving!! And in the Bay is a good place to be right now. Sunshine predicted with cool temps. Not to cool, though.

Steel cut oats sound like some seriously manly oats.
