toby of the day, 6.15.2008

today we had a barbeque in the park in celebration of the return from switzerland of our friend maggie and her owners ed and michelle. If you live outside of the 46.7 square miles of San Francisco, the term barbeque might fool you into thinking of a summertime ritual involving shorts, sunscreen and wide-brimmed hats. You would be absolutely wrong. Because it’s summer, we layered toby and ourselves into long sleeve shirts, sweaters, jackets and wool hats and as we stepped into the park, we were already cold. but it was still a good time. I drank two beers, toby ate some flowers, jon made and then ate some delicious coffee marinated skirt steak, maggie ate some kalbi from the people at the neighboring picnic area, and ed and michelle enjoyed a range of non-fondue related food items. I suppose nothing says welcome back to san francisco like a summer afternoon spent shivering in the park, so in that regard I think it was a success.
