Just got back from a trip back home to Kansas City. Sorry I haven't been around. Finally getting a chance to catch up on a few things here in San Francisco. Below are a few excerpts on some things here in town and then I'm off to continue enjoying the rest of this gorgeous San Francisco day:

ONLY IN SF (OR MAYBE VT):
A colleague and his wife are taking Lamaze classes and he's the only guy in the class. All the others are expectant lesbians and their partners. That reminds me of a woman I know who sent her child to preschool in Noe Valley, and the kid came home one day and said, "Why can't I have two moms like other kids?" And on Thursday as the 6:03 Richmond BART train was about to leave the Montgomery Station, the driver came on the intercom and said, "No bicycles allowed in the first car. You'll have to move to the second car. Ma'am, sir -- whatever you are." Gawd, I love San Francisco!

Tourists learn the awful reality of San Francisco's beautiful hills....

And finally, an update wouldn't be complete without an excerpt from the Simpsons' Daily Calendar even if it's about that other city that simply will never be as cool as San Francisco:
Marge: Oh, Homer, of course you'll have a bad impression of New York if you only focus on the pimps and the C.H.U.D.s.
