Some friends are in the bay for the first weekend ever. I find it ironic that this is the same weekend we officially let go of our house in the city in favor of a small studio (cost effective!)

Must I tell you international orange is my favorite color? Must I tell you again that EVERY SINGLE DAY there is a moment of yearning to take up permanent residence under the perch of this fantastic structure? I adore you, San Francisco. The love affair began at age 9, when I first sailed from Bellingham bay all the way in to yours. Pier 39 was only the beginning. Still to this day, I wear a flower in my hair and revel in all that it is to be with your gentle people there. xx
