I received and then participated in a fun little Facebook exercise that proved to give me a good smile. It was really nice seeing friends check-in, if only briefly.

Here is the post, with last names removed:

I received this from Megan. But I think it might be for you.

First, a chronology:

local version:

With all the hoopla in the news about City College possibly closing because of funding and accreditation, I just want to say:
* both the city and state bills to keep the school funded passed
* re-accreditation is coming along nicely
* They ain’t closing
* At $46/unit, it remains a super duper bargain for a real education
* Their non-credit classes are FREE (and you don’t have to go the whole semester if you don’t want)
* They’ve got a gazillion credit and non-credit classes.

Look See!

Classes start in January, but sign up NOW because they tend to fill up.

PS. The truth won’t set you free. No. It will grab you, shake you, and MAKE you free!

And that is how we roll.

Thanksgiving in Florida was terrific. Everyone (of course) loved Megan!

I wrote a letter to BART today. If you believe the same, please comment here and write to BART

I notice that Powell station recently got new illuminated signage at the platform level. Its very nice and legible from inside the train.

I need to point out that the 16th and 24th street stations remain ENTIRELY indistinguishable from one another from inside the train. The stations look IDENTICAL to one another and the existing signage is hidden in shadow.

Please install signage at 16th and 24th St stations so a traveller can tell them apart.

Thank you,

A few years ago when Charlotte and I were in a Penzeys spice store, we came across this bumper sticker.

We’re not sure how large the young urban cannibal market is, but Penzeys has a lock on it ;-)

Love People. Cook them tasty food.

I haven’t seen this phrase in months. It brings me a great sense of calm.

Where do you think I should go in San Francisco? What do you think I should do? What restaurant to dine at? What mountain to climb? Please add to this list!

When I tell friends where I am, they wax poetic and start telling me where I -have- to go! It’s far less fun to go to such places alone so I look forward to friends buzzing me up and asking to go out [hint hint!]

I tried to catch up with my friends on Twitter today. All I have to say is:

If the internet is like a library with all the books strewn about, then Twitter is like doing whip-its with all your friends at once… in a giant blender set to “Purée”. Ouchy.
