Fox Theatre, Oakland

I remember living in Oakland and seeing the "Light Up the Fox" sign on the marquee at this theatre. M says it was closed down for 30 years. We just went to see Keane there last Friday. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. It's amazing what a critical mass of dedicated people can do. Although I was falling asleep and ultimately stayed up for 24 hours, I enjoyed the night.

M is right. We are getting old. We waltzed in after an unrushed dinner at Tamarindo and left before the last encore. This is one of the signs of oldness. It was a nice night, though. It's good to be around happy people.

The rest of my weekend was a mixed bag ending up with the worst day Sunday. On Saturday I got to see my mom and dad, recently back from their trip to Spain. I also saw my nieces' softball game. Gabbie is a big hitter and Bella is a little spitfire. Sunday was just a bad day for me. Things are getting better, though, day by day.

My belly is getting a bit ridiculous. I scrolled down the other day and saw my 6 months picture, and was a little surprised. I looked SKINNY compared to now. I should really do a comparison shot in the same outfit. It's so weird! Anyway, this weekend is another marathon weekend, and I am hoping I can hang. Looking forward to seeing Les Mis at LHS. And possibly finding out about having a job in the fall.
