Learning to Enjoy San Francisco
When I lived in SF from 2009-2010 I hated it. That's a strong word, hate, but it accurately sums up how I felt. Friends would tell me that my chosen location at the corner of 16th/Mission was a big reason why, as this was a well-known corridor for drug dealing or at least crazy-acting in the p...
Beautifully said and from the heart. Really love reading your Blog.

Of Wedding Anniversaries, Marriage, and "Committed"
Today is Mom and Bob's 26th wedding anniversary. I was 8 when they married, which was a second marriage for both of them. And so the world goes around--I recently began a second marriage myself. Our wedding this March was the day after my birthday. For a birthday/wedding gift, Pi Wen bought me...

Let me say this may in part account for my attitude which I confess could be more positive.
I was particularly taken by your line...."This makes for rich reading, but things don't exactly zip along".. Alas, these days I am for things that zip along! Perhaps that results from my over involvement in a crazy busy life? I make no real excuse for that stance...it is just... where I am.
As I progressed in reading the article it became more humorous to me which is not a sterling stance for my serious reading character.
Oh well, after re reading my note I think it best I return to this elephant review (book) and look at it again from the front vantage point. Well written as always Marcus.

Wallace Stegner's "Crossing to Safety"
This August I slowly but surely re-read Wallace Stegner's 1987 novel Crossing to Safety. Stegner is brilliant in capturing the subtle nuances of conversation--the feints and gestures that we all make, either to seize control of the situation, to move things along peacefully, or to retreat if i...
