just a quick post today – i’m in the middle of buying plane tickets for a quick trip to LA a the end of august and don’t want to let myself get too distracted.  big day today – ventured downtown (on foot) and visited the contemporary jewish museum.  it was awesome….there were two old women standing behind me, arguing about what age constituted being a senior, complaining about the line to get in, questioning whether or not there was and elevator to ride because “there’s no way i’m hiking up those stairs”…hearing those women – i felt right at home, one with my people.

i also purchased this book today…if you know the greater significance…well, then we’ve probably known each other more than 15 years .   i was wandering around downtown after the museum in search of cute, good walking shoes – an essential in sf, but alas, no luck…and found this book in an urban outfitters.  i heard it existed but to see it in person was much more impressive…so yeah, i bought it.  i figure it will come in handy – being broke and in sf and all.
