All the really cool kids are doing this one. It’s very straightforward, with only two steps.

Step number one: link to Roxanne’s post entitled“My Dinner with Dr. Bérubé.”

Step number two: Have dinner with Dr. Bérubé.

Will report after tomorrow evening on any resemblance either of us may or may not have to Rod Gilbert. As Michael is staying in a Certain San Francisco Neighborhood of Ill Repute, dinner may or may not involve soup in a bread-bowl.

   Wait a minute — the weekend I’m flying to the East coast, Bérubé is fleeing to the West coast?

   Is it my breath?

   That’s the Red Vic for you “great unwashed”.

   Different neighborhood of ill repute, Roxanne. I’m thinking of the one with the sea lions.

   That *is* a neighborhood of ill repute.  It is, however, reasonably close to a neighborhood of much better repute, and at least one hole-in-the-wall, cash-only, Italian country food restaurant worth going to.  No, I don’t remember the name.  I just walk along Columbus until I find it.  Then I stand in line, because there’s no reservations anyway.

   Now that the postcard store is closed, I seldom go to that other reasonably close neighborhood there anymore. Unless we’ve got the drink on.

   And I think the restaurant paperwight is refering to has moved to Van Ness Street. “Rain or shine, there’s always a line.”
