SF


Home again, home again, jiggity jig! Both Bob and I have made it to our new home in San Francisco. We've set up this little blog to keep friends and family updated and to chronicle the adventures we'll have this year. The title comes from the greetings J.F. Sebastian's robots give him when he returns home in the movie Blade Runner. Maybe a bit obscure, but something I say all the time whenever we get home from something.

Anyway, I've been here for a week and Bob for about 12 hours after an all night drive from Salt Lake City to SF. He brought some of the warm weather with him and after a short nap and a long shower he was ready to head to Baker Beach for a little of the sunshine with our friends, Nasha and Jason. It was a gorgeous day and the beach was in a nice little cove with views of the Golden Gate bridge and flocks of brown pelicans flying overhead. (In fact, I think that photo used on this blog is taken from the same beach, but I'm not positive since I snagged it from the Library of Congress' photo archive.) And, in true San Francisco style, a portion of the beach is a nude beach, so we saw lots of naked men tanning, walking around and frolicking in the ocean. Quite the way to spend our first day in the city together.

When my flight landed in Syracuse the other day the girl sitting next to me said "home again, home again, jiggity jig" ! Congrats on your new home. You lucky ducks!!!

Hmmm... maybe it's from something else as well. Or not as obscure as I thought. Or, maybe my catchphrase is just catching on!

Yes! Jolynn sent me a message about this as well. She was reading from Mother Goose to her son and saw this... not as obscure as I thought.
