Living in San Francisco means a lot of things

[cyrano]

Living in San Francisco means coming over the Bay Bridge and having your heart race a little when you see the city's skyline. Crossing the Golden Gate and smiling at the way the fog sits right on top of it. Snaking up the 101 and Candlestick Park being the greeting that tells you you’re almost home. It means visiting Middle America and being thought of as some kind of socialist gay hippie. It means traveling Europe and being considered one of the enlightened Americans. It means missing burritos, missing pho, missing Tapatio. It means missing Dolores Park, missing farmers’ markets, missing the ability to walk wherever you need to go. It means flying back from two and a half months in South America and getting a little teary-eyed watching Doctor Doolittle , just because it’s set in San Francisco.

I'm wearing a sweater. In May. And I'm not feeling the least bit sweaty.

tell the weather to hold on--I'll be there in a month, if it can just wait and not go anywhere.
