It was Jim's parents anniversary so we got them this very, very delicious cake. It was made of chocolate mousse. I hold this cake personally responsible for at least 2 pounds of weight gain on this trip. Other culprits: Mexican food,Tiramisu, various potato products, eating 3 meals a day and alcohol.

 

This is a picture of the absolute BEST round of pool I ever played. Really. So it was some game that you play with three people and you try to knock everyone else out. I forget what it is called, but that is not important. What is important? That I won. Here I am doing my best Vanna White impression next to all the balls I had left on the table at the end of the game. And that is not even the incredible part. The incredible part was that I sank like 6 balls in a row. Those boys didn't have a chance. It was all me.
I was so impressed with myself that I felt we should act out the whole scene in pictures. This is Jim and Tom posing with the sole directive "Look like pathetic losers that don't know what happened to you!"

Finally, me. I tried to pull off a Don Knotts bug-eyed "HUH?" but kept cracking myself up before the flash went off. So this is what I ended up with. I am not sure what I would call this look besides pretty damn stupid. But I'm a winner and in the long run that's really all that matters.
San Fransisco was amazing. If it weren't on the West Coast, I would live there. We called Roy and Natasha one night out of the blue and kept them up until like 5am on a worknight. Yes, they are troopers. In return I issued them an open invitation to come to Boston and do the same thing to me and Jim one night.So I brought my camera, intent on taking a million touristy pictures and embarassing them in places that they actually hang out. Luckily for them I had no film.. This was the sole picture taken that night.
