Not Just Blue

And, lest you think I'm only frolicking about sticking my toes in as many parts of the ocean as possible (which is mostly true, but I like to maintain the appearance of a more well-rounded explorer), I bring you some non-watery bits. As we drive around up here, The Boy and I both keep wondering if the plants are supposed to be that color.  Where we live, that would mean everything was completely and totally dead.  But I've been assured that no, that's just what they look like here this time of year.  It makes for a bit of an [...]

Disapproval

Disapproval rock disapproves of my decision to abandon you.  Well, he seems to disapprove of most everything.  I think the trick will be carefully framing your questions to him as he doesn't seem to have much of a range of expression.  He may be my new mascot.

Abandonment

You have been abandoned.  The sock, The Boy, and I have run off to the beach and left you.  I'm sure once you see the beach you'll understand my decision. The sock will be back to report on his feelings about this experience soon.  In the meantime, I'm going to go see which rocks are best suited for clambering over.  It's an important question.  I intend to dedicate substantial time to determining the answer.  Don't wait up.  Also, send a sunhat.

Souvenir

I tend to bring back somewhat non-traditional goodies from my various excursions.  I don't have much use for tshirts.  I am always drawn to pretty drawings of the places I go, but I never manage to get them framed and hung.  Pretty much if it's meant to be sold as a souvenir, I'm not so interested.  Three of my very favorite possessions in the whole world are the tiny little salt pot we brought back from Bulgaria, the sea glass we brought back from Maine, and the stick we brought back from Nova Scotia.  That stick is on the 'grab [...]

Step 1, Establish Camp

I've arrived in San Francisco and located our lodgings.  They are more or less at the top of the steepest hill ever.  That makes going other places (they're all down hill) easy, and walking back from them a bit grueling.  I've also secured provisions in what was quite possibly the most harrowing grocery store/parking garage experience ever.  I am beginning to miss parking lots.  Large, free, easily-navigable parking lots.  But I'm the stoic and valiant type (ahem. No. This is a total lie. I am the whiny type who feels it is very very important everyone in earshot know about [...]

Up Up and Away

In a rather unexpected turn of events, I found out on Monday that I'm headed off to San Francisco for a few weeks on, um, Sunday.  Sunday, that day that comes after tomorrow.  Sunday morning no less. This is certainly good news, and I fully expect it to be a lovely trip.  But it is now also the top contender for shortest notice trip ever (in my personal pantheon of trips that is, I'm sure there are folks out there who dash off much farther afield on far shorter notice, but they're cooler than I am). So I am currently: [...]
