The second day of my San Francisco stay involved Rachel and I trecking on down to the Science museum in Golden gate park. With a semi late start we got down to the area and purchased sandwhiches from Posh Bagel shop on 9th st. Gotta say that I'm loving the bagel roll. It's just what you're thinking. A roll made from bagel dough and cooked the bagel ( Read more... )

Right now I'm siting in the Crocker Galleria and my thumbs don't want to hit the buttons. Bhae a great day once I got over my stupid momentary sickness.

Just plain happy, cheerful and excited everyday with no discernible cause. And I'm hoping that this is my new mid point, my new default if you will. I know ( Read more... )

A week or Two ago my mom, my brothers and I headed out to san Fransisco and Yosemite.

I have decided that if I HAD to live in a city, right now the winner is San Francisco. I still have to give Seattle a try as well as Chicago, but at this moment in time, San Fran is kicking La and New York's respective asses on a purely city based ascetic level. ( Read more... )
