These are the days of whine and roses... actually, just many loving visits. Just a week or so ago, you know, my friend Martin was here. Then, this weekend, ever adorable Brent Riley visited. Next week, I'm getting a brief, quick visit from my brother-in-spirit Corby as he stops through the Bay Area for some errand of sorts. Next week, as she was just informed tonight and is ever so excited, my soon-to-be-10-year-old niece Mariah will be visiting her favorite Uncle Reese for a long weekend of merriment, fun, and chaos as we try to see every public park in the City once again before she scoots out of town. And then, finally, later in the month of November, the ever sweet David will be leaving on a jet plane from Missouri to visit us folks in San Francisco for another of those long weekends we're so fond of. (Too bad the awesome, gift-giving Jeff won't be with him.) Jessie, Chris and I plan to somehow show David every pizzeria in San Francisco while he's here-- or at least pretend to do so. All in all, many a visit, many a friend, many a love, many a heart's content.
