My schedule is so messed up.

Photos of Monterey Bay and our somewhat depressing yet strangely interesting weekend getaway.

Yup!

So while hubby was in lectures, I took a walk, then I headed out to Fisherman's Wharf to taste some clam chowder – which I love – all the restaurants on Fisherman's Wharf hand out samples and post signs that say theirs is the very best.

One restaurant owner and I struck up a conversation – he was from Boston, but he knew all about the Iowa Hawkeyes – we chatted and chatted and he told me that I could taste up and down the wharf, but I wouldn't find any clam chowder better than his. I took him up on that bet and I tasted.  He was right – his was the very best.

When I came back to give him the news, he was so totally cool that he bought me lunch.  I am not joking. He bought me a cup of clam chowder and had 'his guys' bring me a plate of freshly caught, freshly cut, freshly fried calamari – he said his fishing boat unloaded it just that morning and he had 'his guys' cut it fresh for me and man, that stuff melted in my mouth like butter. I made him sit with me – he said, "You're going to get me into trouble…" Then he told the waiter to bring me a Crab Louie salad with fresh caught Dungeness crab – OMFG!  I was so full by that time I could only eat a couple bites, but the salad was amazing.  I asked if I could take it back to the hotel for my husband. Oh…my new friend looked so crest-fallen. He invited me to bring the hubs back later, he said he'd treat us to dinner. I told him we couldn't come, we had an event to attend. So he asked me if I'd come back later, after the event.  I shook my head, but I gave him a hug and a kiss before I left.  He was so sweet and so attractive in that David Crosby-type way – (the singer…David Crosby).

That was the second best thing that happened all weekend.  The adventure we anticipated did not materialize, but as you can see from the photos, the weather was good!

Tomorrow – more books and a couple reviews for Anytime Darlin'. And maybe, just maybe, a ghost story.
