January Glories

Who'd have thought we'd be sitting here at the beginning of the new year with barely a cloud to mar our views?  Folks tell me there's not a hint of snow in the Sierra but on evenings like this I'm left wondering why anyone would ever want to leave San Francisco in the first place.  With the view over Pacific Heights, a cup of tea and some reminiscing - I'm reminded of two of my favorite Herb Caen quotes:

"I tend to live in the past because most of my life is there."

 
"Cockroaches and socialites are the only things that can stay up all night and eat anything."
