Back, however briefly that might be...

Okay, so I'm home and alive, having survived 8 days in San Francisco and the surrounding area. If I can figure out a funny way to convey the events, I'll post some accompanying pictures and dialogue. Otherwise, I'll just show you pictures when I see you, as I'm not going to turn this into a travelblog and bore you all to tears....

In other words, it was a really great, but fairly uneventful trip. At least by my standards.

That said, I have some tid bits that I deem worthy of mentioning....

When you spend every waking minute with the same person for 8 days, two things happen:
1) You will develop a series of inside jokes that make your conversations almost unintelligible to any "normal" person. My post on Monday might be a good illustration of this.
2) You will, without fail, eventually run out of things to say.

Here's to hanging out with other people! :)

The LA Scots have to be about the hottest pipe band out there, in terms of overall attractiveness. Of course, they're all from LA and the surrounding area.... so they kinda have no choice.

Carl's Jr.? As good as advertized. Of course, if by "as good" you mean "as heart attack enducing".... and that's even without trying their fabled breakfast burger!

Jack in the Box will not, in fact, kill you. However, the people frequenting it at 2am might....

Raw squid is yummy, if perhaps bland, and raw octopus is actually somewhat fishy, but a bit rubbery.

American beer is like the best of both worlds.... you can get drunk, but since it's much like sex in a canoe, you'll never be hungover. Good times!

This is my new favourite shirt:

That is all.

Hopefully I'll see a lot of you at Neil's cottage this weekend.....
