In San Francisco

[trochee]

yesterday afternoon we landed in SFO for a short visit. I'm in Hayes Valley Green, on my OLPC laptop. This city's vaunted internet access isn't bad but isn't all it's cracked up to be.

apologies to all you bay area people -- we're here but we're busy, and leaving Sunday morning very early. if things go well today, we'll probably be back!

yay, welcome to the Bay Area! Hope you enjoy it (and return) :)

thanks! we're definitely enjoying, and it sounds like Boo's interview went really well.

San Francisco people are so much more engaged than Seattle people; it's refreshing. Seattle folks sometimes --often-- walk on a busy street carefully avoiding acknowledging that anyone else is there, let alone a human being.

Some things to check out in your area:
http://www.bluebottlecoffee.net/kiosk.html -- best coffee in the city
http://www.tartinebakery.com/ -- bit farther away, but best bakery in the city

hey, thanks! Bluebottle is only a block away from our hotel, and Dorothy even found it on her previous visit. maybe we'll find Tartine this afternoon.

I discovered Isotope Comics not far from Bluebottle -- much as I love Zanadu in Seattle, Isotope is acomics shop that really treats it like an art form. I told Boo it's like walking past a movie theater and realizing it's more of a Harvard Exit or an Egyptian than a Pacific Place.

You don't love us! *sob*

Happy thoughts to you and boo, and hope you enjoy our neck of the woods while you've got a chance.

thanks for the good wishes! we're hoping to visit the exploratorium and the parks around it today -- nice to have a little playtime now that the interview is over.

we do of course love you all, equally, except for you Bay Area people, whom we secretly despise.
