I think I have found the place for me! San Francisco has everything, great people, amazing food, minutes from the beach and a view of the mountains! If you can’t enjoy life here, you may just be out of luck. The expenses that come along with living where everyone wants to be is a bit traumatizing at first, with the outrages rents and high priced restaurants but when you find your balance here you don’t even notice the prices. Besides there are a lot of expenses that you don’t have living here; car, insurance, gas, there is no air conditioning or heat for that matter, the weather is just that perfect every single day. I must say that I do not at all miss the 100% humidity of the south with its heavy thick air. Here the air is crisp and fresh, clean every day. This is very motivating and make me want to get out and see, and do! I still want to go to Alcatraz, touristy but so so cool! I have sailed around Alcatraz a number of times but have yet to stop in. I want to go to Angel Island too, another large island in the bay that is a state park with no residents just visitors. I have recently been seeking out small wineries to begin my own brokerage firm brokering wine. It has gone surprisingly well! I have picked up a few brands and am about to hit the road to sell my goods. I represent only small boutique wineries with 3000 total case production or less. All of the wines I am brokering are all farmed with sustainable farming practices and organically or biodynamicaly grown. Biodynamicly grown is comparable with organic growing with a little Voodoo thrown in, Harvesting with the new moon cycle and other nonsense like that. It does make for some pretty good wine, I must say. Anyway, I thought I would just give you a little update! Life is good !
