First bike ride in a month 2 days ago- a quick jog to the gym- and wow, was I skittish. There’s this (lack of) personal space that you build up over time. When you take a vacation, you’re back to zero again. On Bay Street, a car whizzed by me and I almost drove into [...]
I walked along the ridge between Tennessee Valley and Mount Tamalpais last Saturday, after a barbecue in Mill Valley. I was in a short-sleeve shirt and was completely chilled afterwards. The wind from the coast- damp fog speeding along, comes over that ridge and sweeps down into the Bay. I’ve been on a boat right [...]

I devoted 15 minutes to lap pool swimming yesterday. I had biked, done a circuit, and had another biking in front of me (though only 1.7 miles). It was tough swimming because it’s so *boring*. It’s really hard to go back to indoor pools when you’ve been in open water. It’s just more convenient, with [...]
Someone I don’t know that well, but moved to North Beach right around when I did, Jackson West, has been blogging about North Beach on Curbed SF. He says,
On a bad day, it’s like living in an off-brand corner of Disneyland. On a good day, reading Frank Norris in a claw-foot tub older than your [...]
I’ve been working for a long time on: gridswap. I took this script: drag & drop from the god of all things DHTML and UI: Walter Zorn!
My goal was to get people to be able to pick up and drop books from month to month in a yearly calendar. The complexity is that the example [...]
I decided on the second day not to get a ski lesson. I just wanted to use my time to get more used to being on the snow- log in some hours, like it’s a medical degree or something. I tend to over-intellectualize almost everything, and I remembered my 1-on-1 class last year like it [...]
(as in, the Sisterly Arts)
I decided not to drive down to Monarch Butterfly Heaven this weekend- Pacific Grove, CA, Butterfly Town!- because going there and not being able to enjoy the wasperly arts, tennis & golf, high tea, walks along the sea, would be some form of odd torture. Instead I sit in this wintry [...]
On a total lark, drove up to Sausalito with Tink and met up with some college alum for full moon paddle. I only knew one guy - Paul Anderson who is a brilliant songwriter - and ended up having a great time and (hopefully) making good friendships. What stuck with me all night, through dreams [...]
We went out around noon from Sausalito and then berthed in Berkeley. Then, set sail from Berkeley around 10am and met Javier at the dock at Fish! Restaurant, around 2:30PM. Tooled around the harbor there doing wacky crazy heeling, drinking beer & chips, and general crazy stuff. Then docked around 5pm. Cleaned up the boat, [...]
