Parting is such sweet sorrow


We did it. Sean and I are now fully moved out of Brisbane, the Bay Area's best kept secret. Yesterday, with the much-appreciated help of my friend Amy, we cleaned, emptied and painted the crap out of the little 250 sq. ft cottage on the hill that's been our home for the last two years.

102 1/2 Solano was the first place we rented as a marri
ed couple (our starter home, you could say, though I'd rather you didn't). It was the first place we'd each ever had with a view (we could see the bay, Oakland and Candlestick park) and was so small that we truly became pioneers in the art of vertical living. Most of all, I will miss living on the side of Mount San Bruno - the mountain that never failed to exhaust our dog and always made sure Brisbane was the last part of the peninsula to be fogged in.
