Here are (l to r) Pink Pistols head Tom Boyer, Man about Universe Michael Brownstone and Rafael, the driver of the 1965 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud about to take us to a picnic on a 1,000-acre ranch in the country.
We glide across the Golden Gate Bridge.
My roomie Stephen meets us there.
Here's the parade before the start of the canoe race.
The race starts.
Now the parade to the pavilion on another lake for the wine tasting and the ceremony for the changing of the seasons.
For six months the cat has ruled.
Now it's the dog's turn.
We take a drive around the ranch.
And so back to the city, where I see the Castro Theatre marquee.
Here's the pavilion at sunset from across the lake.
Noting that the Castro Theatre marquee says “A Year Without Love” will end on Thursday, Strange de Jim is counting the hours until Friday.
