Today I'm thankful for ...
... gloriously beautiful weather in San Francisco today. I'm tired of the freezing cold weather. Not that I don't expect the chilly nights out here at the tip of the Peninsula, but lately it has been wool coat weather. I mean, really. It's April. Sure Steinbeck said the coldest winter he'd experienced was a summer in SF, but geez.
Today B and I walked around Yerba Buena Gardens after checking out the Cartoon Art Museum. Each of us had gotten a book and so we sat in the dimming afternoon sun over the park with a light breeze. It was perfect.

Oh the variety
Today I'm thankful for ...
... living in a city where within a block there's some of the best food on this planet. And a great variety of it too. When I moved to this apartment I made sure that it was near transportation and food and that my parking situation would be really close too.

Still alive
Today I'm thankful for ...
... not getting sick. I am really drained after having moved big furniture in the early morning followed by a long night of doing the Chinese New Year scavenger hunt. That was an absolutely miserable experience---although good friends help make it somewhat bearable. It turned out that a major storm system moved in on us and we were constantly in the rain and the cold, blustery wind. Combine that with stress, a lot of walking, and San Francisco hills, and you have the recipe for pneumonia. But we made it through with all clues but one and Gordon Biersch kept us warm afterwards. I was also really lucky to get my car out of the garage at 11:58 PM, two minutes before they would have closed!

Well...
Today I'm thankful for ...
... well I don't know if I should be thankful quite yet but I just took possession of a key to a new little apartment in the basement of a house. It'll be a totally different lifestyle to be sure. It's going to be relatively quiet except for the grandkids that will be running around---there's a mother-in-law unit behind mine where the landlord lives. She's good-natured and I'm hopeful that this opportunity will work out. Now I just have to figure out how to complete this move.

Blam blam blam-blam-blam-blam blam blam
Today I'm thankful for ...
... avoiding getting shot. As I was walking up to the house I heard a rapid succession of bursts. At first I thought it might be a car backfiring. But there were too many bangs---and there was no reason it would be fireworks. I hid in the shadows and called 911. After a bit I walked out and quickly into my apartment.
When I got to the top of the stairs one of my roommates asked if I had heard the shots too. He heard a car screech away. I looked out the windows and the police cars had just arrived and cordoned off an entire city block as a crime scene.
Scary.
