It was cold and windy today.
The cat jumped on the bed to wake us. We went downstairs and found that Turner Classic Movies was showing M. Hulot's Holiday. After breakfast, we drove downtown to Fifth and Mission. We went to the Metreon, which recently reopened after extensive remodeling, which is still going on. We had lunch at the San Francisco Soup Company. We went upstairs and took some pictures, like the one above, showing the Museum of Modern Art and Timothy Pflueger's Pacific Telephone Building. We walked around Yerba Buena Gardens and took more photos.
I didn't notice any problems caused by this weekend's Bay Bridge closure.
We went to the Cartoon Art Museum. They had an exhibit of art related to the Wizard of Oz, from a comic strip that L Frank Baum wrote and a 1930s comic strip, to more recent comic books and graphic novels. My daughter has been enjoying the Marvel graphic novels. They also had an exhibit of contemporary comic strips, including Pearls Before Swine and Lio.
We went to 5 o'clock mass at Good Shepherd, then had dinner at Guerrero's Taqueria.

Sherlock Holmes Marathon -- December 26, 2009
We had a quiet day today, recuperating from the trip and from hosting Christmas. Turner Classic Movies was showing a Sherlock Holmes marathon. We missed the Arthur Wonter movie. I have seen only Silver Blaze. Today was all Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce Universals.
I read Woody Labounty's Carville-by-the Sea. Good book.
There was an enormous burst of rain in the afternoon, starting right before we left for mass. There weren't many people at mass.
