Included are just 2 photos from the 60th birthday bash for San Francisco's own Mike Dingle. He was a butterfly all day, fluttering from one flower to another, being his ever elusive self. I had a great time, and there were a lot of old acquaintances in attendance.

There were also hundreds and hundreds of oysters being eaten raw and BBQ ed. They were eating them anyway you could eat them. I was stoned, and Mary Jane has the complete opposite effect on me. I don't get the munchies when I'm high. Maybe I should stay that way all the time.

There were 12 musical acts I believe listed to play. Everything from surf music to the Conspiracy of Beards were there this Sunday.

I let my own beard down at this event for sure. I was good about food intake yesterday, but the 4 beers I  slurped down most likely negated my efforts at weight control. While I was having fun catching up with old friends my wife and our friends Charley and Michael slipped off to N. Beach to grab a slice of pie at Tony's. She could have brought one to go back for me, but no.

My wife Geri is not the person to take to psychedelic rave or an all night Dead show. Last year we went to Wavy Gravy's 75th birthday party at the old Richmond Jeep plant. The party was just getting going around 11:00 PM when she and our friend Guy, who calls himself a hippie, anounced that they were "tired" and wanted to leave. It was the same thing yesterday. I was just getting a heat on, and I'm sure the best acts were coming up, and it's let's go now, I'm tired.

Everybody's getting old.

The infamous Mike Dingle 

Entertainment line-up

That's mt story for today. Wednesday I'm doing a recipe for butternut squash burritos. We had half a squash left over, and I think it will pair well with brown rice, black beans, some plain yogurt to substitute for sour cream, and a simple mild salsa. That's what's coming this Wed.

Peace,
