What did I say in my previous post? A picture tells a thousand words. Need I say more? I trolled the web for the most flattering picture of the CIA Director David Petraeus’s…

Food Review: Saigon Sandwich
Saigon Sandwich in the heart of the ‘Loin is apparently ‘the’ place for bahn mi sandwiches. I made a detour today to check it out. It’s located across from the Phoenix Hotel on Larkin between Eddy and Turk. I got…
This Ain’t No Food Blog
From now on, I’m going to make an effort to take more pictures. I think it’ll spice up my blog. Keep in mind, I am a bad photographer so don’t expect much, but a couple pics to tell a couple…

I force myself to be a light packer which is the complete opposite of Dean. Whenever we’re done packing, he’ll still have a small pile of toiletries or socks set aside and I know I’ll need to put them in…
Let’s Go Giants
The post-season was incredibly exhausting when your two local teams are both in it. Yes, I was rooting for both the Oakland A’s and the SF Giants. I can’t fully comprehend why people question my dual allegiance. I mean, cmon…
