OK, one way or another I am getting this post written and out this AM.  I am here in the big city and working With the San Francisco Documentary Festival or Doc Fest.  We had a great showing on Saturday and a great Q and A afterward.

So, I am traveling with two remarkable people, Annie O’Neil and Father Tom Hall.  Yesterday morning Padre Tomas served two Masses at Old Mary’s Cathedral were we are staying at the rectory.  The Mass that we choose was one in Cantonese which was very lovely and exotic to our ears.  Afterward we hiked up hill to the Episcopalian Grace Cathedral to see that.  We walked the beautiful labyrinth outdoors there and I got the T -shirt, as they say.  This was my first labyrinth attempt and it went swimmingly with Annie and the Padre giving me pointers.  Then there was a very heavy duty organ concert which I tried to get into but it was just too heavy duty I guess.  I had to make a break for the outdoors.

So last night the Padre and I were up talking till past midnight.  Priceless stuff was exchanged and knotty problems talked about and pushed further down the road to resolution.  Again, how come I am so fortunate to get this kind of quality coaching?  Just knowing that I am so extremely lucky to be walking this road at this time.  Alperfect situation.

So, we are having breakfast here at the rectory.  One of the Padre’s priest friend invited us to his table.  That’s a few minutes off.  Then we are off on the BART, a subway to Berkley.  Catalina, our friend who was just up on Vashon visiting is throwing a brunch for us.  So, we get to see her and James’s new digs there.

Then tonight at 1900 there is a showing of the “Cool Old Guys” group of films.  Let me mention some of the characters in this group: a French beekeeper, a bail bondsman, a body builder who developed MS,  a boxing coach, a second hand store collector and man who is a star roller skater and runs a church/roller rink called Church Of the Eight Wheels.  Yea, see all pretty cool.

Well, I think that I brought you up to date with the happenings here.  Will be flying out tomorrow morn and be walking at 1600 at Phil’s Camino, seamless.  So will catch you here or catch you there.  Cool old love, Felipe.x

Still trying to figure things out here at Caminoheads.  Had a post written this AM but it got eaten and never could find it.  So, will try again.  Thought I would get some news out to folks that may show up to walk Phil’s Camino while Phil is gone.  I am off gallivanting Saturday through Tuesday.  I’ll miss the Sunday afternoon walk and the Monday morning one.  But you are welcomed me to come if you know the way.  
So, I’ll be getting the blog out from San Francisco hopefully.  Will make sure you get all the important news.  Still in love, Felipe.x

Cool Old Guy with Old Friend Ivette, May 2016

Daring Lisa at the Apple Store got me rigged up with an app to write my blog posts on.  It sounded like a good idea at the time.  And it probably will be once I figure out all the details.  Yea, she’s up and gone and here I am the next morning with questions.  Yea, like how to get a pic on my posts.  We may be pic less for a while, pic less in Seattle.

Anyway, I could whine about that or we could go somewhere else.   I know, we are off to San Francisco Documentary Festival (SF Doc Fest) this weekend.  Annie will be there and we will be traveling with Father Tom Hall.  I hear that he is giving Mass at Old Mary’s Cathedral on California St. Sunday morn.  We actually will be staying there on the grounds.  Somehow Padre Tomas got us rooms there.  Connects baby!  

We will be on hand for questions and answers at the two showings, one Saturday afternoon and the other Monday evening. We are in a group of short documentaries called “Cool Old Guys”.  All this is on the Doc Fest website.  So, if you are in the neighborhood or have friend there, give them a heads up.  

Cool Old Guys
Ok, I don’t know about Cool Old Guys but do know about old guys.  Have to get out there and walk in a moment, get the old guy out there.  It rained over night so wear your boots for the wet grass if you are coming.  Cool Old loves, Felipe.x

yup. 

Yes, at the Apple Store being helped by Lisa to get to a place with my blog that is streamlined and doable.   So maybe a few more lines and then I will try and add a pic and see what happens.

Annie, our beloved Producer/ Director of the short documentary Phil’s Camino just sent this in.  This is the very latest version of our poster.  Look at all those laurels!
