Thanks to all the many, many people who wished me a happy birthday yesterday. I’m glad to report that my entire family has now recovered from the horrible, horrible stomach flu that had us all out of commission and off-blog for a long while. (I’m telling you, it’s nasty stuff, this bug that’s been going around. Don’t even think about going to Babies R Us or the doctor’s office without lathering up with hand sanitizer. Preferably something non-toxic like CleanWell.
Lots of folks are asking where I moved. Not to be cryptic, but here’s a riddle. Suppose you were to drive south from San Francisco for roughly an hour and thought you were leaving behind all the slow food, weirdly high housing prices, Victorians with fishscale shingles and mansard roofs, lovely vistas, hippies and pot smoke of SF, only to find all these things waiting for you upon arrival?
