We are getting back into the swing of things after our trip. It is wonderful to be on our home turf in our beloved city, San Francisco. Sometimes it takes going away to see your life with fresh eyes and realize how good you have it. We really do live in one of the best [...]

I spent much of this weekend helping to paint a giant mural on a new building at the corner of Cesar Chavez and Mission Street.
