I lazily stopped posting pictures, but here’s a post of four shots from dinner at the Commonwealth restaurant in the Mission. Marc asked if I’d come out to dinner with his friend from LA and his girlfriend. I replied back…

Chick Lit
One of my favorite events during Litquake is the all-memoir women’s night. I was especially excited this year because the lineup included Laura Fraser who I’ve taken a class with at the Grotto. I believe she is one of the…
Onward and Upward
Heart attack city. I was riding the cable car home yesterday after work, announcing the play-by-play to other passengers who saw me constantly refreshing the gamecast on my Blackberry. I screamed with glee when the Giants scored to take the…
Blue Angels Soaring Above

Today I want to recognize those who make my life easier. They are my go-to people when I need a helping hand. I like to keep my service people under wraps so they’re not swamped with other customers, but they…
Another Round of Refinancing
I am a refinance whore. I think I’ve refinanced three times each down another 50 basis points. Rates dropped yesterday. I think it had to do with the quantitative easing announcement from the Bank of Japan pledging to keep interest…
