No adjustment needed
Beautiful day in San Francisco on Saturday – Sunny and warm proving Mark Twain wrong. I walked through the Financial District to North Beach. A quick stop at City Lights Books for browsing. Brunch that included a “Bloody Hammer” and Brioche French Toast at 15 Romolo. More wandering, and another stop at Vesuvio. I don’t think I’ve been in the neighborhood for about 10 years. I love that not much has changed.
BlogHer Food is in Seattle this year and like a good research librarian I gathered lists and articles that will lead me to good local eats.

Let me know if you have any Seattle favorites.
Starting about the age of 8, if you asked me what my favorite thing about the long vacation ahead, I would have replied: “I can read all day!” And when I could get away with it, I did. My parents would shoo me outside and I would take a book.
I still fantasize about the possibility of uninterrupted time spent just reading for pleasure. When I see the Summer Reading Lists start to appear I hoard them like a knitter hoards yarn. Just like knitters (like me) live in fear of being under-yarned, readers live in fear of being under-booked. Here’s a list of book lists that have me itching for those long Summer stretches of time spent with good books.
