.... I just visited my wife in San Francisco for the 4th of July weekend (she lives in the Marina District), got a preview of where I will be living in about two months, once my infernal post-doctoral fellowship here in Upstate New York is over.
San Francisco has some of the best running in the world. On my first run, I ran from Marina and Divisadero to Fort Point and back, took me about an hour. The next day I ran around Fort Mason. Even went running twice that day (a first for me) because I was so psyched about the scenery. Damn, what a beautiful city... I am so anxious to leave the East Coast with its humidity and snow and all that [censored].
