I lost all my hair again.

The older I get, the less fond I am of haircuts. Every time I have to cut it short, it's another reminder that my hairline is either receding, or just high to begin with, that it looks like I'm balding.

Maybe I am. Who knows?

In any case, the barber this time did not know a word of English. I still have no command of the Cantonese language. Yet there we were, one trying to tell the other how to cut his hair, the other trying to tell the other how he will cut his hair.

Sigh.

8 more hours until my flight to Virginia. I dread coast-to-coast flights, mainly because of the length of the trip.

This time, I managed to book aisle seats on every flight so that i don't bug people when I have to go to the bathroom because of my tiny bladder.

Showering the shame off of me.

Final decision: just stick with the 3-piece suit, bring a pair of black slacks just in case, along with a gray, black, and red tie. And a skinny black tie.

omakase

Clare came up to spend time in SF.

Hung out with him Saturday.

Ate many things on the SF 7x7 list. Spent almost $200 that day. Um yeah.

Farmer's market Bing Cherries: sample was sweet, basket not so much.

Sweetwater oysters: delightful.

Ahi Tuna Burger: great fish, mediocre burger. Garlic fries on the side.

Loaf of bread from Tartine: too sour/burnt for me.

Salted-caramel ice cream from Bi-Rite Creamery: gross.

Russian River beer at Magnolia Pub: too strong for me. Only finished half.

Omakase at Sebo: 6-course tasting menu of Japanese food. Light/refreshing, but not filling at all.

cookies and creme

I think I'm getting depressed from exercise.

I understand that working out produces endorphins, but it has done nothing but wreck my metabolism. Consumption of food for lunch has doubled in cost while quantities have tripled in size.

The challenges of maintaining weight while trying to train for a marathon alongside performing a navy seal workout...

On the upside, I can see almost 8 abs, but how is that supposed to benefit me when I'm not even in the pursuit of dating anybody?

Positive news: I will be hanging out w/ Clare sometime this weekend. Perhaps we should go shopping for wedding outfits? Don't people that come in pairs to stores for wedding clothes get served coffee while the clerks shuffle out with store items for people to visually sample?
