"It is so easy to waste our lives: our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to take for granted the color of the azaleas, the sheen of the limestone on Fifth Avenue, the color of our kid's eyes, the way the melody in a symphony rises and falls and disappears and rises again. It is so easy to exist instead of live."

Stern Grove-Afrocubanism
After about 90 degree weather around Concord, we decided to head to the city for 70 degree weather and watch Afrocubanism at Stern Grove. It was an annual thing when we lived in the city where we got a bunch of our random friends together and watched shows with Anoushka Shankar, Karsh Kale (serious tabla beats) among others. You can't go wrong with a free concert. Our old friends Manish and Namita were in town, so we caught up with them along with Pascal and Susan. Rayna and Inika made a new friend named Jayla. I brought lots of face painting crayons for the local kids..Someone should be paying me for all the kids that kept coming up to me. After white wine, zin and sake, it was time to head out and pass out:) We lucked out at Burma Superstar, one of those restaurants in the city that is always worth the wait. Good food, friends, and music..great weekend..love san francisco.
