I would have done a full &#8220;Kill me now&#8221; but my left knee hurts. I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s the same one I hurt on Sunday when Megan and Nadeem drove me to the Union Street Fair and parked on a steep street, head in. I had to get in the back seat of Nadeem&#8217;s Jetta and he&#8217;d put Armor-All on it, making it quite slippery and I went ass over teakettle, sliding all the way to the other side. Today was even stupider. I saw an attractive woman at the developers conference and wasn&#8217;t looking where I was going and ran my knee into a chair. I&#8217;ve been limping ever since then. In any case, I did the renegade rows, push presses, sit ups, and just a few minutes on the stair climber while watching the end of the first quarter of the basketball game.<\/p>\n<p>So far I&#8217;m falling out of love with San Francisco on this trip. The hotel is loud, the food is mediocre, and the crowd seems to be out-of-work aging hipsters who ditch their babies and continue drinking excessively. I think the women in Portland are better looking too. I went to Ristorante Ideale in North Beach tonight, a favorite of an Italian friend, and my breaded pork chop was tasty but over cooked. I&#8217;ve had better at mid-level restaurants like the Widmer Gasthaus. I went to a bar to see Nelson on his birthday and it was a weird crowd. I think I&#8217;m better off staying in Portland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent 30 minutes or so at the gym in my hotel and I&#8217;m pretty tired.
