This was according to some <a href="http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-01-01/bay-area/17466332_1_east-bay-bay-area-first-time-camping">goof ball</a> ( in my opinion anyway) right here in my hometown - Oakland!<br /> <br /> So to prepare for the&nbsp;"final episode"&nbsp; I did the following:<br /> <br /> 1) Had <strong>bacon</strong> (!!!) and eggs for breakfast...<br /> <br /> 2) Ate about&nbsp;2 lbs of cherries... yes, I did!...<br /> <br /> 3) Returned overdue library books (I wanted to go with a clean record)...<br /> <br /> 4) Cleaned the bathroom (didn't know who might "drop in" for a visit)...<br /> <br /> Anyway, by 6:05 pm it looked like this was gonna be a dud - so I&nbsp;ate RED VINES to celebrate!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<br /> <br /> <br /> It all started after I met a very nice lady (Gayle) in San Leandro at one of the recent&nbsp;garage sales that Yolanda and I had.&nbsp;&nbsp;Gayle was looking for fabric and we started talking about the sewing project my godmother Trini recently assigned to me (making bibs for convalescent centers).&nbsp; Gayle mentioned that her quilting group makes pillowcases for military personnel and the homeless and I said if it doesn't call for more than sewing a straight line - count me in!<br /> <br /> So here's my project...<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;
