Dick's

1. Round trip to San Leandro to pick up 50 lbs of organic sugar with my daughter and grandson.
2. Brunch at Dick's, the kind of joint you usually have to travel much further to enjoy. Like maybe to the central valley, for instance.
3. Great waitress, with entirely painted-on eyebrows - red.
4. Enthusiastic hugs and kisses from Renzo.
5. Reading Parker's latest book about fmlay.
