San Francisco, California

today i turned 37 in san francisco.

it happened like i was turning 27.

tahoe, is very, very beautiful.

take your family there for a very expensive vacation.

we arrived in san francisco thursday night... valentine's day.... the day before the 15th, which is really just a hump day between valentine's day and my birthday.

so out of the way and my day is here.

not unlike yesterday, and much like tomorrow will be, the years pass and there is only so much that changes until one day you realize that, something has.

i think we all have a 27 year old version of ourselves, and every once in a while we'll look in the mirror and say, "man, i'm getting old..."

the body, it ages...

but since i am busy being 27, we went out last night and stayed up until 5:30 in the morning... kings of the jungle... or, queens of the techno... we stayed with meghan's friends asha and eddie, and, they are what one would call the most wonderful couple. generous, hospitable, FUN(!), least we remember that. we went to some park overlooking the bay, asha, meghan and i, then went into the mission, got some lunch and hung out at delores park.... kind of like a hippie throwback that everyone is invited to... the young and the restless... my sister's boyfriend paul met us there, and we walked around the city some, before my sister met up with us to eat at the front porch... kind of hip, kind of overpriced, kind of fun because we were with 7 people i think, and it gelled really nicely.

we then went out to see a minneapolis DJ at "the wish," then home, then out to some hoppin' club that started with an "M."

then home again, to dance some more.

the party, never really stopped.

details make pondering difficult.

how long is too long?

what do you really want to know?

the project starts soon.

what makes you happy?

how do you define happiness?

what should i ask people?

who will care to see us when we're old?
