back from the bay
Let me just say that I'm very sorry we didnt have more time in SF, but my back and shoulders appreciate being home in my own cushy, soft bed.
Things of note from the trip:
- Getting to the airport early is good. You never know how much time you'll waste taking off shoes and belts and finding out your flight is cancelled and you've been rerouted thru another city, and you'll get there sooner.
- Sometimes, your skanky Ohio friends live with porn stars. From OHIO.
- Ex-CEO's know their wines and will guide you to good, cheap wineries in Napa.
- Guys named Gabe working at V. Sattori are HOT
- Brakes on minivans full of people are a GOOD THING in San Francisco.
- Sometimes, even skanks from Ohio make good, and own Art Deco penthouse apartments overlooking the city.
- Just when you think you know all the Fabulous Doran sisters, another one shows up. And she's all virginal and naiive and sweet.
- And apparently you can't wear an underwire bra to visit a prison.
- And Communist detectives ride pink Vespa scooters and wear black pantsuits. (Ciao, Comrade Skully).
- There are some HOT boys who eat at the Indian restaurants in the Tenderloin.
- TRU on Geary SUCKS ASS.
- Lucky Penny is the SF version of Roadhouse Annies. Alas, there was no Tammy.
- Kid Robot and Giant Robot are not tv shows, but action figure and apparel stores.
- Amoeba still kicks ass. As does All You Knead.
- Trader Joes needs a cop to direct traffic into their parking lot.
- Good wine is CHEAP in California.
- You might find your friends at Folsom, but you might lose them in the crowds of saggy ass just as quickly.
- There will always be people from Ohio wherever you go.
- Thurman Cafe turned up at Folsom.
- New friends will likely take you to good restaurants. Like Picaro.
- Vacations are ALWAYS too short.
