Homeboy + Pixie Goth + Suburban Mom=...

...well, I don't know what the hell it equals, but I had a good time. It would take one crusty cynic to find something wanting about sitting on a rooftop in the sun-drenched Mission, staring at the stunning view of the city, eating brunch (sprinkled liberally with some kinda crazy spiced nuts), and chatting away with ob and ms. bj.

And now, a quiz:

Match the brunchers with their drinks:

1. barbara jane
2. ob
3. ver

a. diet coke
b. mojito
c. agua

And, no, there are no prizes.** Can we just once take a quiz simply for the intrinsic satisfaction? Geez.

Post-brunch, we enjoyed a mandatory visit to Mitchell's, where I felt—quite acutely—the loss of my Lola. Her freezer was always stocked with plastic tubs of Mitchell's ice cream: mango and ube, mostly. The melancholy was brief, though, as there were important decisions to make regarding choice of flavor(s) and whatnot. We had plenty of time to do this since there were approximately 400 people in line before us.

And now, another quiz:

Match the ice cream eater with their cool treat of choice:

1. barbara jane
2. ob
3. ver

a. double scoop dulce de leche y mexican chocolate
b. mexican chocolate
c. kalamansi sorbet

Yes, indeed, a most pleasant trip into the city. Many thanks to the nebulous-no-more couple for allowing me to chaperone their Sunday afternoon adventure.

**Speaking of prizes, I walked away with ob's chapbook Sorta Rican, which I am very much looking forward to reading. You're so jealous.
