Just got back from our neo-tradition: drive down Interstate 280 to
Highway 92, then down past Skyline Boulevard to our favorite Christmas
tree farm in Half Moon Bay. The Brat's job is to roll around in the
mud, sawing off the tree, and having a broken foot doesn't get her off
the hook. Then we bungee-cord the tree on top the Golf and loop up
California Route 1, the coast highway, past Mavericks. It's sunny and
mild, cool t-shirt weather, a 1-day break between winter storms, and
the surf is up and the surfers are out. When Mavericks is running,
surfers from all over the world grab their boards and head for
airports. Past Mavericks and the big dish antenna we have lunch at the
Moss Beach Distillery on the cliffs... fried seafood platter (fish,
shrimp, calamari) and wheat beer. Then drive up through Devil's Slide,
truly awesome, through the woods and Pacifica, back into San
Francisco.

I'm doing Beef Wellingtons and garlic shrimp for Christmas dinner.
Hope I get the fillets cooked right... it's thermally tricky.

I forget: which civilization am I supposed to envy?
