Wait, what?

As I exited the gym tonight, I was offered a hot dog, a churro, and a beer! I laughed, and suprisingly easily responded, "No, thanks!" But I must say, I continued to chuckle down the block. It wasn't just a coincidence that the hot dog vendor set up shop outside the door of my gym. The gym hired him for their Grand Re-Opening after their weekend remodel. To compliment the hot dog cart, they had a table set up for beer pong, and a table set up for flip cup inside the gym, in the stretching area. Very entertaining to watch while working out.

Then, I met Winston. I hadn't known about Winston, but I guess he's a celebrity in the Marina. He's a 95 pound bulldog. I actually saw him out for a walk last night as well...walking very slowly! At least his owner walks him a lot. He's huge! I learned the details of Winston because tonight, a business man walking next to me stopped the owner and asked, "Wait, is that Winston?" The owner replied that indeed it was, and they bonded over their mutual ownership of bulldogs. The businessman then got back on his phone and told whoever he was talking to about Winston's legacy in the Marina. What a crack-up! I thought I'd see if there are any photos of Winston on the internet, and I found these photos on Flickr:

Yup...he's huge. Makes the Goldendoodle that I want look tiny, huh, Paul?

Pink/Green Parking Meters!

Our neighborhood always wraps the parking meters with different colored ribbons for the upcoming holiday or season. When it was Chrismas they were red/green, when the Blue Angels were in town they were blue/gold, and now that it's Spring and Easter time, the meters are wrapped with pink/green ribbons. I love it! I had to take a picture of the meters, so that I could show my girls who know my love for pink and green ever since the wedding planning days. One would think that I would get sick of this color pairing, but I think it will have a special place in my heart forever. I hope they leave them wrapped until our anniversary!
