San Francisco this weekend,Beautiful.
My Birthday. The perfect mochi trio at my absolute favorite bakery Benkyodo, seasonal mochi made fresh daily. The most delicious tuna tartare, and cute puffy dinner buns served at Spork...maybe orange makes everything taste better? An hour wait and the most perfectly yeasty thin-crusted heirloom tomato pizza at Beretta. We will be back for more.
Singing the anthem at the SF Opera-Golden Gate Park en-masse, enjoying a picnic of sushi and mochi on a stick from Nijiya market, with a dear old friend. The weather was mercurial, La Boheme was divine!
Running Lyon Steps with an old HS buddy, we finally did 3 rounds without stopping! Topping it off with the SF Chronicle (Go online for the NY Times and support the local news) and a hot soy latte at the nearby cafe.

La Boulange on Russian Hill never fails me. I come here and writers block and apathy are magically lifted. Perfected my CV & Cover Letter. It may have to do with the friendly big bowl of Latte goodness, accompanied by the yummy tartine and complimentary nutella.
This old couple sitting on a bench at dusk, this is what life is all about. Love fully & nurture those relationships daily. Live somewhere beautiful. The best things in life are free...
