Same here, although with a smaller place, and no car (more doable in San Francisco than Seattle), our budget would allow it without much sacrifice. We've already figured out how we could make NYC work if my partner was to get a job there, so I think we could figure out a way to make the cost of living in any North American city doable.

I could be a total grammar Nazi right now. They're/there/their errors really annoy me. But I'll be nice. I just finished sending a nasty e-mail for work.

Six new books from Barnes and Noble came today, many of them recommendations from sfogate. Looking forward to reading thru this pile.

I hope you enjoy them.

Heading out to dinner with dergon_gf's high school friends here in SFO. What a nice city. Lovely day walking around all over and doing pretty much nothing.

Finally woke up at a normal time today. Took me 5 nights on the west coast to stop naturally waking up at 5am.

The weather has been wonderful this week. Nice and cool with blue skies. Rain is finally in the forecast for late Monday night into Tuesday morning. Lots of rain and strong winds.

GO for it!

I haven't flown in Y on a 739ER yet. I don't think I've ever walked behind row 2 on that plane.

Go ahead and rub it in ;)

Just got my comped NWA status card that actual came as a DL card. I wanted to get a card from NWA as a platnium the last time it was alive. :( Stupid Move.

SO I had a weird experience earlier this evening. Went into the grocery store after driving from work about 15 mins and when I came out to get back in there was a frog on the floorboard of my car!! Was it my prince charming??

So I also got a gift from Delta today, a Tiffany bowl. We will see what is delivered in a few weeks!

Frog legs for dinner?

Why is Delta sending you a gift?
