in no particular order, the best of our California trip, July 2025, which was 100% perfect fantastic:

  • the unknowable fathomless ocean
  • fig leaf latte at quail and condor (and pictured croissant was a tomato chocolate croissant?! i wasn’t that into it but i’m all about the croissant exploration)
  • gray skies
  • remembering to use “best bakery in ______” to guide exploration
  • chez panisse dinner extra awesome and charming, tomatoes and champagne and peaches, plus associated memories of past meals in other lives
  • beautiful peaches
  • beautiful strawberries
  • beautiful tomatoes
  • emily, a magical person giving magic to so so many
  • best friends
  • eating pancakes with best friends
  • finally dancing to “levitating”
  • manicure!!!!
  • charming Berkeley
  • sea ranch lodge — sitting in the window seat and watching the water — so beautiful
  • the tile and low light in the sea ranch lodge bathroom
  • skipping rocks at the Gualala River
  • seeing alex and hazel after so so many years
  • mary sue and bob’s sweet lil three-legged dog, pancho
  • ross saying he had “the best avocado toast ever” at farley’s in the oakland airport — could it possibly be true?
  • detouring to valley, emma’s restaurant in Sonoma, just on a wild proud-person whim, ross getting a bagel plate, me getting flowers and a pastry, and emma’s hilarious response to us coming to valley but not letting her know (“YOU ABSOLUTE HOBAG”) — perfection
  • not throwing up on the plane!!!!
