The Continuing Adventures of Wagamama Boy: From Banana Split to Banana Republic

We spent a leisurely Saturday with Jonathan, aka Wagamama Boy. After feasting on some seafood dimsum at Yet Wah on Clement in the city, we headed out to Ghiradelli to top it off with ice cream sundaes. The terms "diet" and "restraint" took the day off from our vocabulary on Saturday; sad to report, "calories" and "gluttony" both received promotions. Jonathan had a soupy banana split which he polished off in less than fifteen minutes. We consumed our rocky road sundae in ten. After our short walk of guilt and contrition to the Warming Hut Cafe at the edge of Crissy Field, we headed back to the East Bay, stopping at Bay Street in Emeryville for a look around. The high point was the Korean sales clerk at Banana Republic flirting with Wagamama Boy. What a sight.
