Granola Boy Expansion Pack Addendum: That night (OK, last night), on a bowling date* with a guy** I'd met through an online personals system I'd formerly eschewed+, he casually mentioned that a friend of his who'd seen my picture surmised that I was some sort of tree-hugger because I was wearing a fisherman's hat in the photo. Oh, and I was kind of scruffy. Did I become some sort of soft-headed Californiite without knowing it? What's going on here? *Lessons learned: #1, a rum & coke at W will set you back $8; #2, the Yerba Buena alley doesn't hold a candle to Albany Bowl++; and #3, Dave's is pretty clean and cool for what looks like a dive bar (3rd St., just off Market). Oh, and #4 (not news to anyone who has ever driven around there), finding parking in Upper SoMa in the early evening is maddening. **On the plus side, he's tall. On the minus side, he smokes and he talks about astrology seriously. Guess the outcome. +I just happened to check for responses a few weeks back. It was a moment of weakness. ++(It's a working-class pastime--playing no music and shutting off the beer tap at 10 pm are not fun. And the point of black lights is that they should be functioning.)
