Out and About…Geneva, NY

Uncle Charlie got the tattoo on his forearm during World War II. He was in the U.S. Navy, serving on a ship near the Philippines. There is some confusion about the female name that’s part of the tattoo. One version of the story is that it’s a girl’s name, but the story our Aunt Pauline got is that it’s a ship’s name. (Uncle Nicky, left, is Aunt Pauline’s brother, and to our knowledge he does not have a tattoo.)

This is my favorite bakery in San Francisco, La Boulange in Cole Valley. If you go, definitely try the pain au chocolat. It’s almost as good as what I make, and a lot less trouble.
