Mihow's Top Ten Reasons For Loving Life On the West Coast
As promised yesterday. 10). Fruits and Vegetables. So fresh. So plump. Eat them up, yum. 9). The sound. I am not sure if it’s the hills, the fog, or that there are fewer cities therefore less noise pollution. But for some reason (at least here in San Francisco) the sound is different. It doesn’t travel…

Mihow's Top Ten Reasons For Disliking Life On the West Coast
Well, we’re supposed to be on vacation now in Rhode Island with Nico and George. Currently, I am choosing to ignore this fact. We are just too far away to get there in the amount of time we have (or had) off from work. And that sucks. For the past two years we’ve gone on…

Updates on Random
It’s been a really great week. Missy came for a visit this past weekend and we drove all over the western seaboard and into Napa Valley. Before Sunday, I hadn’t ever been along the northern side of Route 1, so I had no idea what to expect. What I wasn’t aware of, however, was of…

This weekend Toby and I accomplished quite a bit. On Saturday we discovered the bus system. We headed to Alamo Square for Coffee In The Park (CIP). Mitch Cope (our dear friend from Detroit) told us about it months ago and Mark (the coffee maker) started it up again after a hiatus. Toby and I…

A Change Of Notice.
(I am putting this back up because someone gave me hell for editing myself yet again). When I was a kid I was so happy. True, I was afraid of things such as monsters, the death of animals, and darkness—I hated darkness. I was also terrified of being left alone. There were times when I…

Blue thru Redwoods
In spite of a surprise visit by my faithful friend, Sadness, this weekend ended up being quite nice. I started off Friday with a bang by watching Reagan’s funeral on TV. (I don’t recommend this technique for those who are the color blue). Through the tears and a puffy face, I managed to order Thai…
