明けましておめでとうございます｡ 昨年は大変お世話になりありがとうございました｡本年もどうぞよろしくお願いします｡皆様のご健康をお祈り申し上げます｡ Pre New Year Dinner with my tribe. Thank you very much Paul Quinn and Chef Hiroo Nagahara @nomicasf for the wonderful space, tasty meal, and the always-fun-presentation of the “hidden chicken” for the uninitiated. #nomicasf @sushiran #japanese #californian #nomica (at Nomica)

Always great seeing Chef Hiroo at @nomicasf ... spectacular meal, but that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that knows him #chefhiroo #hiroonagahara #nomicasf #japaneseknifeimports #japanesefood (at Nomica)

Back at @nomicasf with Michael and Stephanie, who were thrilled to see the Chicken in Brioche and the sashimi selections. Michael is my swim-lane buddy. We share a double-wide lane in our gym and my partner in the butterfly stroke. When he does the butterfly, his wing span is like that of an Airbus A380 and his movement beautiful. As for mine, it resembles more of a dying dragonfly (and apologies to the dragonflies of the world for insulting them.) #nomica #nomicasf #swimbuddy #friends #castro (at Nomica)

Slowly coming out of mourning for Ptolemy @flyingdachshunds and ushering the holiday week with beloved Bobbie and @dbucky @nomicasf Loved seeing her expression watching Dan cut into the Chicken in Brioche. #bff #nomicasf #rmkfall2016 #sanfrancisco #rmkxmas2016 #castrosf (at Nomica)

Last night @nomicasf with Laura and Yonny, and their Princess Allison and @lindalimacts (not pictured.) #nomica #nomicasf #rmkfall2016 (at Nomica)
