In the restroom at Americano @ Hotel Vitale on the Embarcadero in SF.

I still heart SF

Ok, so the traffic down the Peninsula can be really annoying, but with this sort of stunning weather, sunroof open, blasting Wolfmother, drinking the lovely hot quadruple latte Thomas makes me every morning, life can't get much better.

sunday in SF

Gorgeous day out here at Chrissy Field. SO good to be home.

Stinson Beach

Drove up to Stinson yesterday (Dec 28). Gorgeous & warm, clean & crisp from all the rain, plus huge waves. Also found a massive chunk of beached whale carcass which was a little gross... We were wave hunting. Started at Fort Point to watch the surfers under the Golden Gate Bridge, then Stinson, then all the way up to Point Reyes with plenty of deer, reindeer, cow and horse sightings along the road.  Fun day!

Boo!

Tuesday

Went to Mary's Stoli promo at Jillian's, them to Spud's 50th b'day party at the Tiki Hut in North Beach. His band, Drifting Sand, played their surf music, and we ran into a lot of Live 105 old timers incl Richard Sands and Steve Masters.

Singapura kitty

Went to visit the Singapura kitty at the bookstore on Valencia on Sunday after brunch with the Bachelors at Las Ramblas.

DMV hell

Well, which one isn't, right? I honestly don't remember seeing the SF one quite this packed before though... We waited about 1 1/2 hrs so Thomas could get his picture taken, his eyes tested, and pay a fee. We did take advantage of the proximity to Comix Experience, my old comic book shop, to stop in and see how things are going for Brian Hibbs, proprietor. Very well, it turns out!  Still there, still going strong, now with woman and child and looking good. There were quite a few folks in the store, too, given it was the middle of a Thursday afternoon. I even tried out a few issues of a new Vertigo series, "Lucifer", at his suggestion. Felt like home again!

sunday brunch

Slow Club for Sunday brunch with Stewart and Lori, 2 of the utterly coolest people in the world.
