Elsewhere I was reading something from
trystbat talking about an outing to the Cat Club in San Francisco, and I was immediately overcome by a wave of nostalgia. I haven't gotten out of town since I went to Germany, and I (and my co-workers!) think it's time. So, I'll be arriving 1/21 and leaving 1/26.
Some of you have Disneyland; I have Baghdad by the Bay. I'll be hitting my usual haunts, of course, but I should also have time for some new haunts. Plus, San Francisco is warmer than Seattle and unlikely to ice up the way Portland did for me last year.
