Thinking About Robots at the Renaissance Festival
My sister told us about the Renaissance Festival going on at Golden Gate park this past weekend. She said we should go and I could make a Renaissance costume for Isabelle to wear. I misheard her. I thought she said a robot costume. That would have been so funny, Isabelle dressed as a little robot at the Renaissance Festival. Then when she’d be walking around I’d be thinking, EX-TER-MI-NATE!!
But we didn’t end up going. $15 a person?!? Umm no! Instead we went to the beach. Free and relaxing. We drove past Pacifica along Devil’s Slide until we saw a beach that wasn’t too crowded. We pulled over and had to run across the freeway and go down down down all these steps to get to the beach. Isabelle had so much fun. Alan dug a big hole and Isabelle climbed in and out and in and out. I walked through the cold waves and we sat building things which Isabelle happily smashed to bits. She didn’t want to leave. We all had so much fun, didn’t even notice the nude people. I told Alan we should go every weekend forgetting that the weather won’t always cooperate. But maybe next time we’ll go to the beach Olinda lives by. No running across a freeway, tromping down a whole mess of stairs, and oh yeah…maybe no naked people.

I’m curious about the nude people?
Now, I’m no “pre-vert” but what is it about the nude people that is objectionable?
Are they old nude people?
With droopy bums?
With skin like crocodile hide?
Or are they the exhibitionist type?
Or maybe they are just plain creepy?
Kuky says: nothing objectionable about the nude people. I didn’t even notice them. So I couldn’t tell you if they were old or had droopy buns or anything. I just know they were there.

That’s so funny. “EX-TER-MI-NATE”
And of course, I can only hear that word said in Dalek tone.
Liking the Doctor Who now, huh?
I’ve always wanted to go to a Renaissance Festival - usually it’s in some horribly hot place. Too bad I missed it.

I think my son would love the ren fest if it had ROBOTS!
P.S. Your drawings are so cute!

That sounds so nice! I’m looking forward to warm weather coming our way for beach trips, nude people or not. Our nearest local beach has a nearby nudist spot…and I’ve only managed to have a peek from a boat, so they all looked like ants to me (flesh-coloured ants!).

That reminds me of the recent Monk episode with a nude beach. Hysterical! And I think Isabelle would make a cute robot.
