I love: (1) San Francisco food news; (2) Roger; and (3) Asian moms.* Knowing this, Mike sent me these photos from my old city, where he's attending a tech conference.
Jack Hitt once told my college writing class that a coffee shop should be small enough so that you can hear every conversation in the room. Ok, he was paraphrasing someone else, and I forgot the other half of the saying. But it stuck with me. I know there are ways to create your own coffee shop, so to speak, and that one cannot rely solely on urban design to create that effect. So I'll keep trying.

* Similar to Momma Tran, my mom claims Korean food is "so easy" to make. She also says I make everything too difficult. And she likes to relate how I cried a lot as a kid. Well, I did.
