taste of adams ave; summer's here

taste of adams ave is this sunday in kensington, normal heights and university heights. that's a pretty long span of adams, so it's a good thing trolleys will be available to cart our bloated asses to the next gorging. i'm looking forward to sampling the goods at jaynes, bleu boheme, and kensington grill. and i bet ponce's, burger lounge and a la francaise will have some tasty items too. but i'm kind of stumped as to what to eat at the dozen or so coffee shops, which make up about half of the list. how many stale sticky buns can you take?

it would have been nice to see a couple more participants, especially the new farmhouse in university heights, or cantina mayahuel. and i hope we don't witness any massive lines like the one at richard walker's pancake house last weekend during taste of the gaslamp (or whatever they were calling it). nevertheless, time to start fasting, i've got 20 holes to punch sunday on my taste of adams card!

speaking of this weekend, we're hoping to hit the beach and swim for the first time this year. it really feels like summer is here, and it hasn't been a bad june gloom month compared to some we've had. today was pretty interesting at the coast as a compressed fog bank advanced and retreated throughout the day, finally giving up and leaving us with a beautiful evening. must be time to enjoy our 10 weeks of warm weather and water - although the latter could use some help.
