Bayside Roller
I just spent a week in San Francisco for work. I was excited to get out of the Chicago cold for a while, but as it turned out I traded it for a week of sunless, drizzly days. I do still think it was an improvement, as I was at least able to get out of earmuffs and gloves for a while, but I may be suffering a Vitamin D deficiency.
I saw very little of the city, since I was in depositions that went all day every day, even on Saturday. But I did get part of Sunday off and I went to SF MOMA, which was kind of great. I haven't been there in over a decade, and although abstract expressionism and pop art haven't changed much in the interim, there were some interesting temporary exhibitions that I enjoyed. Plus giant spider sculptures! Very much preferable to the real life version.
I also took a walk through Chinatown, because it was about a block from our hotel. I very quickly remembered, however, that I am going to actual China in a matter of days, which made me feel weird about the whole thing. I mean, what am I going to do, compare and contrast?
I do have to say that I am glad to be back in Chicago, even if it is not for very long. It may be cold, but it turns out it is where all my stuff is.
