Originally, it was actually a workout blog that I was going to share with my mom and sis’s, but now it’s evolved into a “local color” blog after several life events meant I was going to move to a new neighborhood, and my exercise and appreciation of my new neighborhood combined in daily walks to [...]
I surruptitiously read the book everyone’s reading, French Women Don’t Get Fat, and she doesn’t mention anywhere my lovely milk and cookies pre-bed snack. Dagnabbit. These people kind of share my thoughts on it, and they’re French, and so therefore they are right… discusison on French Women. For th record though, there are some interesting [...]
crisis! blog erased! (written yesterday, Tues.)
Ok I will write offline and then post.
weather today- glare, with showers. Not worth carrying your umbrella. Note: SF people drag out their umbrellas to the last inch of their life. And coats are meant for fashion, not warmth. You know you’re in a temperate climate when…
Ran into overachieving high [...]
Felt like Friday, it was so bright and clean and full of hope for a fun weekend. The tai chi people were all wrapped up this morning, some just windmilling their arms, or standing in groups laughing.
I walked home last night along Jones, from Nob Hill down to that little saddle and up again to [...]
It was pretty drippy this morning - Tai Chi people had taken a raincheck, I guess. I didn’t unfurl my ungainly umbrella. Kind of limpy this morning from last night’s workout. It was so bright too, it’s been sunny and showers all day.
Last night stopped in the library 20 minutes before closing (mysterious 30 [...]
in like a lion, out like a lamb… april showers makes spring flowers… The drizzle today meant most people had umbrellas when walking around the “village” - my homey name for the main restaurant thoroughfare of North Beach. The protocol of taking your umbrella to the side when someone is approaching in a different direction, [...]
This morning’s walk wasn’t as eventful or thought producing as last night’s WOG so I’ll write about that instead!
Up the top of Chestnut, past the beautiful Arts Institute - actually walked in, and it’s like Dante’s home, 13th century Italy but with art student flourishes ( a bunch of pens jut out from the side [...]
So my friends live in the area that is just like Tales of the City… little bungalows on the edge of Russian Hill with brick paths leading up and down to each little residence. Kind of like a spa retreat, with the entire cityscape at your feet. It’s really quiet up there, once in a [...]
It’s weird when you are having the chills and it’s around 80 degrees outside. We had a high glare warning this morning - still need to wear contacts and get some sunglasses. Walked slowly to work this morning, no rush since I had been there late last night. I’m definitely going to bring some XOX [...]
There’s a distinctly Californian feeling that I miss when I’m not here. It’s the “spoiled” feeling of having a copious amount of sunny days to choose from that you end up abusing it. Day two of early March heat wave, and I’m stuck inside doing computer stuff. This reminds me of my childhood so much. [...]
