It's Picnic Day again, and I'm not there. (Of course, it's just not the same without Lawsuit playing.) Get downtown early enough to stake out some curbside space to watch the parade (one year I actually got to be in it, riding in the anchor seat of a bicycle built for four). Try not to get rained on. Walk around campus afterwards -- see the nematode exhibit, the fistulated cow, listen to the astounding UC Davis/Sac State/Humboldt State/Stanford Battle of the Bands down by Putah Creek, eat an It's-It or two, and then, tired but happy, bike home and have a barbecue.

Good times.
