Bay Area Bucket List

[readingredhead]

Since there's only a very small chance that I'll be living in the Bay Area in September (or even California, for that matter!), I've made up a list of the things--big and small--I want to do here before I'm gone. I'll bold and date things as I accomplish them, and if I write an entry about it, I'll link the date to that post. The list is sort of loosely organized by topic, but this is subject to change.

A few months ago you mentioned not having been to Jupiter while I was there. If you like beer (maybe a little? not as much as I do, probably, and I'm not bragging) you need to do it. I think the same people who own Drake's brewing own Jupiter. And if you like pizza, even a little, you deserve to treat yourself.

You are right, I still haven't been to Jupiter (and I have not developed a taste for beer, alas!) so it shall be added to the list. Because I might not like beer, but who doesn't like pizza?

Exactly- everyone likes pizza. Jupiter is the best pizza I've ever had in California, probably top 10 lifetime, but I was a bit biased, what with the beer and all. And as beer goes, the trick is getting some that doesn't taste like [crude way of saying 'having sex in a canoe'].

weirdest coincidence ever - i'm moving from the NY metro area to SF, whereas you appear...to be making the opposite trip.

That is quite a coincidence! Yes, I'm packing up and heading east (it's what you dream of doing if you've spent all your life on the west coast...at least if you're me).
