I spent every summer of my childhood in San Francisco. I love going back. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Hope things are looking up, Mami.

Bad news for the Unknown Parents, but great news for Put Pie.

I remember watching winter baseball in Candlestick Park in July or August. If you stayed until the end of the game, which most didn't, you received a special hat pin at the gate denoting "survivor" status.

No matter what time of year it is in SF, it's always a good idea to take a sweater "just in case" (geeze, I sound like my mother).

I've been to SF in the summer (and winter and …) since i did graduate school in Berkeley across the bay. People would come to visit and we'd cross the bridge and they'd buy a sweatshirt too.

My wife also keeps bringing up things I should blog about – which just makes it less likely to happen.

Sorry to learn you lost your job. It's tough out there but i hope you and your husband will be able to find work soon. Yes, SF weather is not as lovely as some parts of CA. We were lucky about two or three years ago. Our first trip to the bay area and we chose late July to do it in. Everyone we knew warned us about the chilly and potentially rainy weather in SF. We took jackets just in case- could you believe, we only used them once at night time? The weather was perfectly warm the three days we were there. On the morning we left we had finally seen the famous fog. Beautiful!

Funny..my husband says the opposite: Dont put that in your blog! Then when I do he keeps asking how many people responded; what they said…sigh. LOL. I've never been to San Francisco but always have wanted to go…now you make me wanna go more!

I've never been to CA, but I have heard about the chilly days there year round. I'm sorry to hear about the job situation, but I'm a firm believer that there is a silver lining in everything. I just know the the right things will come along for both of you. ((Hugs))

My husband makes fun of me for blogging. When he sees that twinkle in my eye like man, I need to get to a computer to post he smirks & says seriously, you are going to blog that aren't you!

I've never been to SF, unless it is blurred with Berkeley, where I visited a summer or two ago. If I ever go again. I will definitely visit YOU!

My husband, too, is often suggesting blog topics (as well as book topics). I just nod and smile and say, “Thank you, Honey.” Sometimes, though, I do have to admit he's got some good stuff! haha Good luck with the job situation…

It could be Mickey Rourke.

I love SF in the summer. Although, I am sure I am one of those annoying tourists. Although, I have never bought a San Fran tee shirt or sweatshirt.

"The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco.”

I've heard that before, but I thought it was Mickey Rourke that said it???

I feel kinda blah today too but it is nice to have time to enjoy the Summer. I went to SF but not in the Summer, that would be cool though!

I was planning a trip to San Franciso this summer but instead my daughter and I are driving to Tofino, an island just off of Vancouver, and where it is apparently very hot in the summer! I think we'll plan San Francisco during our winters, when anywhere is usually warmer than where I live!

Friggin' book. I can't stop thinking about it now. I'm almost done, but every time I'm trying to fall asleep I'm thinking about the characters.

I love that book! I felt the same way when I first started reading it. I am glad you have got to the point now you really enjoy the book.

I am keeping my fingers crossed and sending you positive vibes.

thanks for that link - one of the nice features of DISQUS.
Got a minute (depending on your reading and writing speed maybe more than one minute)? Check out my latest idea based on the DISQUS system and the fun of comments.

I was in San Francisco a long time ago in the summer time, as a tourist, and I do not remember it being too cold. I think it is great that your husband supports your blogging! But maybe you are right that he should start his own space to vent his thoughts…

Another reason to love SF! In SoCal it was 110 on my patio yesterday and today it was 100 and HUMID!!! Jealous?

I remember the first time I went to San Francisco and …wait, I think you just told my story actually…

But to be fair-I WANTED a tourist sweatshirt. Some of them are really soft (for the first 6 washes).

Maybe I'll start sending my hoodies to SanFran. I keep getting long sleeved hoodies in the mail as gifts (birthday, Christmas, etc) and I don't wear them. It's usually pretty warm here in FL, even in the winter. And the winter temps are cold, but since we aren't used to it, we don't hang out outside. (Hmmm, I think I just ranted!)

I didn't realize that your husband was laid off – oh goodness – I know can understand the funk.
