return from san francisco . . .


i was supposed to get a hyundai accent. the hertz lady said we're taking the mustang instead.


san francisco orchestra performing at the davies symphony hall. michael tilson thomas is the normal conductor, but edwin outwater led the all-beethoven performance. orli shaham took part in the piano concerto. and notice the second violins are switched with the cellos.


muir woods was just a quick hop across the golden gate bridge. rising to over 300 feet, the redwoods are simply amazing.


had the dodgers kept losing, i think i might have to switch allegiances . . . and no i don't know what to think about the lugo/maddux trades.


when it's foggy in san francisco, everything looks the same. but when it's not--you get some pretty spectacular views.
