My night at Alcatraz

One superlative we never voted on in high school was “first to go to prison after graduation.”   We mostly had good kids at James W. Robinson in Fairfax, VA, but alas here I am 12 years after graduation living in an amazingly beautiful city with views of prison.

Tonight at 6:30 I was supposed to head for a techie event, widgets and such.  All great stuff, been meeting some really nice folks here in San Franc since I’ve moved from New York.  I was getting ready to go and thought “tough week so far, stressed, I need to exercise.”  Well I just threw on a few more layers (yes it is cold here in the summer) and headed out to explore the streets, the hills and the views.  If you can ever get to the corner of Jones and Union at sunset…you might just see an amazing site:

Findling’s lesson for tonight, sometimes just say F it and do what is best for you, l felt a whole lot better after walking up and down the hills of San Francisco….cheers.
