This morning I went up to Oakland/Berkeley and played around in the hills for a couple of hours. I've been hearing (reading) about how nice these trails are so I decided to go see them. I went to a trailhead off of Grizzly Peak Road. Again, I had no trail map so I just turned whichever way I thought looked good, usually choosing the one less traveled. I managed to find my way back to my car without any problem at all. I want to go back up there again when the air is not so smoke-filled because it appears there are some gorgeous views of San Francisco and Mount Diablo. I get so amazed at the beautiful trails I have so close to where I live. The drive was only 35 minutes. No snakes or furry animals today, but a few nice photos:
My dad is back in the hospital in San Francisco. He developed an infection from the bypass surgery he had back in June. He had to have emergency surgery to clean it out today. I went up to the hospital this afternoon to pay him a visit. We have talked on the telephone a number of times since his surgery so seeing him again was not awkward at all. He has put some weight back on and he was in very good spirits. If you have to stay in a hospital for a number of days though, it has to be much easier to handle when you have views like this from your room:

Improv clubs are always fun - and Wanda Sykes - she's hilarious. And free dessert to boot!! Woot! Sorry to hear about your dad. Sending good thoughts and prayers your way.
I hope your dad gets to feeling better soon. He does have some amazing views from his room.
Nice!
My dad went through exactly the same thing and once the infection clears up, your dad will be good as new!
Healing thoughts to your dad. What is up with the smoke in the air in the Oakland hills? If only I could get up that early to go swimming!

Sorry to hear about your dad but it sure sounds good that you're on speaking terms!
