Alrighty, I’m posting a Yelp review because I write so few of them these days. Cmon, people, am I ready to be a food critic or what? Not a food critic yet, but a nightlife critic possibly? Looks like the…
Worth the Hurt
The official times are in and looks like I clocked the SF 5K at 28:42 which is a decent 9+ mile a minute. 9:15 to be exact. I finished in the top 17% overall. Top 11% women. Top 12% women…
2011 SF Marathon
5K FINISH The white banner loomed ahead. The only thought that kept me from stopping–again–was the crowd split by guard rails. I winced; don’t make an embarrassment of yourself in front of all these people. I clenched my teeth and…
Nightlife: Workout Edition
I became a member of the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco well before opening day on September 27, 2008. Before last night, I’d gone less than three times. That’s right—maybe thrice in three years. The first time, on…

Money Monday: Personal Assistant
I know this sounds frivolous during a recession (yes I believe we’re still in a recession), but I hired a personal assistant. I have been talking non-committedly about this concept for years. Wouldn’t it be great to have a personal…
Gay Pride – New Strides
I couldn’t let the weekend pass without sharing how happy I am that New York has approved same-sex marriage. It’s frustrating to live in the gay mecca and not have this right accessible to Californians. I will be elated once…
Art Fix: Safehouse Atelier
We had a fast-paced weekend which possibly explains why I’ve been sick with a fever all day and night. I didn’t have time to sit on my couch and read a single paragraph all weekend. Relaxation time is an absolute…
