Next time, you’ll have to come to the Central Coast. We have fine wine, awesome restaurants, and no traffic. You can ride your bike (or run) on Highway 1, the most beautiful highway there is.

And to think I lived across the bay in Berkeley once … and left.
I’ve been back once, about 15 years ago, and I can probably recall the turn events of everything we did over five days (Downtown, Palo Alto, Monterrey, Tiburon, Muir Woods, Berkeley again, etc.)
Fav restaurant – Boulevard.

Susan, you’re alive! I thought you might have been ambushed by Anton Chigurh.

Yep, San Francisco is about my favourite US city – a bit like Vancouver in Canada, and almost as nice as Sydney. You could move there. The next earthquake isn’t due until 2087.

You were born to live in SF. I still, no matter where I go in the world, think we have the most beautiful skyline; it feels like coming home when I see it lit up!

Herb Caen was a famous SF columnist for the Chronicle. He was a total ‘homer’, you know? SF One, World Zero, kind of guy. Anyway, when I was living there, he wrote something I’ll never forget (partly because it was so arrogant! partly because it’s so true!). People in the early 90s were going on about how San Jose was going to become the urban hub of the Bay Area (silicon valley was taking root and all), and he wrote, “I don’t care how much room they have to expand at that end of the peninsula, San Jose will never be more than ‘the next 26 exits on the freeway’!” Perfectly sums up the manic love hometown folks feel for the City.

Glad you’re back! Now move to Napa.

Seriuosly….I haven’t blogged either.

Diveristy is good. Remember…this is from a white Midwestern male engineer who hs fed the elephant a few times. Some of us do actually have souls.

Funny you mention the gay thing-on my way in to work today because of a news story I was trying to figure out how to explain to my son why I support hey marriage.

I love San Francisco too, which is why I made my children go to college near there. They need to see and experience what true freedom means. So glad you agree!

Okay, that’s it, another spot to visit going onto my bucket list. Nike Women’s Half may just “half” to happen!

I agree…SF is one of the worlds BEST places…and the FOOD…you gotta write about the FOOD!

The Nike Women’s Half marathon and full are a fantastic excuse to return to SF, hand with some great women, and run through the hilliest and most scenic areas of SF.

Let me know if you try to lotto in next year and we’ll coordinate.
