Danke danke danke Elena!

This is amazing! I promise, the next person who gets me really drunk will have the pleasure so see me perform the following (and people who know me will know which point made me promise that ;-) ...)

The person who guesses the song will win the performance ...

Californians

I have a great response to Maureen's comment on my last post ...

( Maureen said...
Any arrests made for indecent exposure? I guess that's probably not even considered illegal in San Francisco, is it? 8:20 PM)

So here you go - it's kind of old, no idea who wrote it, but it's funny :-)

Californians

So as not to be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, and Texan jokes,
you know you're from California if:

1. Your co-worker has 8 body piercings and none are visible.

2. You make over $300,000 and still can't afford a house.

3. You take a bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a
conversation in English.

4. Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is
named Flower.

5. You can't remember . . is pot illegal?

6. You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.

7. You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are
grown, and you can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian.

8. You can't remember . . is pot illegal?

9. A really great parking space can totally move you to tears.

10. Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.

11. The guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing a baseball cap and
sunglasses who looks like George Clooney really IS George Clooney.

12. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.

13. You can't remember . . .is pot illegal?

14. It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news
station: "STORM WATCH."

15. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with their cells or pagers.

16. It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour
early to avoid all the weather-related accidents.

17. HEY!!!! Is pot illegal????

18. Both you AND your dog have therapists.

19. The Terminator is your governor.

20. If you drive illegally, they take your driver's license. If you're here illegally, they want to give you one.

Bay to Breakers 2006

Today was Bay to Breakers, a yearly event in San Francisco. I heard it's a race where people are running for 7 miles, starting at 8 a.m. somewhere in the City and finishing at the end of Golden Gate Park. But since we only went there around 10:30 a.m. it was more like a Love Parade without the techno trucks, but with the same kind of crazy people ... in other words: just another excuse for the crazy San Francisco folks to get naked and/or dress in crazy costumes.

We walked from Hayes and Van Ness all the way to 30th Ave at Golden Gate Park, with all the back and forth it walked around 5 miles!!

Here are some of today's impressions. Flickr sei Dank ...

Bay to Breakers

Rishi, our little nephew in Dubai

Finally I received some pictures and I can't believe how big Rishi is already! Those pics are already 8 months old though, I need the latest ones, Madhu! :-)

I was so happy to hear that Madhu put up Navin and my pictures in his room, so he knows how we look like. I'm simply "Dani" for him (good!) and Navin is Kochappan - that's Malayalam for "father's younger brother." :-)

Here are the pics:

Rishi's 2nd birthday on the 24th of September 2005:
