Distance: 2.6 miles
For Ciwt, Ocean's 8 was a perfect no-brainer entertainment before her 'brainy' Magritte tour tomorrow. If you're looking for a get away, she says 'Go' (and try to ignore the too liberal use of make up and botox).

When Do We Get To the Pyramids? --- Day 7/99
Walk: Marin Driving Day
Distance: A Few Blocks, Yoga

Ciwt is often thankful for how much spacious solitude and beauty can be available right in San Francisco proper. These people in the 'remote' distance have Crissy Field Beach and San Francisco Bay nearly to themselves even though they are sitting close to a major run/walk/ride pathway and the Golden Gate Bridge.

How Much is That Pigeon in the Window --- Day 7/98
Walk: Hood
Distance: 3.5 miles, PT
Our late, great columnist, Herb Caen, referred to all the pigeons around San Francisco as 'flying rats."
He hated them and groused about them often in his column! Ciwt didn't exactly buy the 'rat' analogy but she certainly came to have a pretty low opinion of the bird thanks to Caen.
So, imagine her surprise today when she walked by a children's store in her hood and saw this window display. Stuffed pigeons! Not the messenger variety; the plain old streetrat type. For children! Or maybe for adults who have moved to the country to raise their children and miss the city. For $34.95.
We'd never hear the the end of it if Caen was still around. Too bad..

Hood Craft --- Day 7/93
Walk: Hood errands
Distance: 3.5 miles, Yoga
Memories of the 1927 Chanin Building NYC Gates she saw at the de Young's excellent Cult of the Machine show* made Ciwt more aware of the wrought work right here in her neighborhood as she ran her errands today. It also reminded her that making one's world more alive is one of the many benefits of spending time with art.
