Coming in fifth

Rainbow in the Mission

Sutro Tower covered in pink clouds

This giant sugar castle at the SF St. Francis (and how scary/fun it is to ride the glass elevators {GoCityKids has the deets} to the top of the hotel) *Thanks to the fabulous Kristen for the great idea!

That we've made the Oval Office a souvenir experience, (and my sparkly Tom's shoes)

DC Metro stations looking like the upcoming Tron: Legacy set

Ippudo in NYC *Thanks to Yosh! (Yosh's perfumes are a perennial obsession)

I really meant it about those Tom's Shoes, and of course ipod-ing it around with the new Cee Lo album.

Encantada Gallery in SF & this installation at my favorite bathhouse, Kabuki Springs

& Of course... 

Buying our own little sushi bar, ICHI Sushi! (Matt B., whoever you are, your review still makes us all giggle and blush!) 

& 

Keepin' on keeping on with all our Bernal neighbors at 331 Cortland with our ICHI Lucky Cat Deli 

Let's see what the upcoming Year of the Rabbit holds for us in 2011. 

Plopped on the wire in front of Rhea's

As long as I've lived here, it's still hard to reconcile that it's perfectly acceptable to be treating this rainy season like winter — hunting for a Christmas tree, mulling wine, and making holiday cards — touching the window feeling chill, not cold. 

Union Station, DC

Making my way into Maryland

Somewhere between Delaware and Jersey

The leaves were turning all across the east

Just before arriving in Philly

Entering Jersey

Felt like the Rustbelt, the closer I came to Penn Station

My Dad's alma mater

My Gramps' era

The meter maids will find you anywhere

Our safe arrival

Across from the donut guy

Peaches and cream corn

Marketgoers

Peaches and blueberries

Across from the Durant lofts

When the weatherball is red

Higher temperatures ahead

When the weatherball is blue

Lower temperature is due

Yellow light in the weatherball

Means there'll be no change at all

When colors blink in agitation

There's going to be precipitation

When it's purple -- the security guard is screwing around.

Landing

Before the rains

Delphi East has been reclaimed by the weeds

The view from Robert T. and Averill never fails

My old stomping grounds

We're about to own a sushi bar.
