OK, OK - it’s been two months since my last post…totally inexcusable! My apologies to you, gentle reader - I’ve been busy traveling from the east to west coast, plus there was the end of the semester at KCAI to bargain with! Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the holidays as much as I did - didn’t get to make any pots, but I did get to express SOME creativity through the making of COOKIES!! Thought you also might want to see why I’m so in love with San Francisco and all of my friends there, so here is a small sampling of pictorial proof! Starting off with the herd of LIVE BISON that live right in the middle of the city in Golden Gate Park - who knew!?  I was staying with my gal Mary Mar Keenan (visit www.purplebirddesigns.com to see some of her creations) in the Richmond District, and it was only a twenty-block walk to the beach, so don’tcha know I dragged her out there for a winter stroll along the coast….ah, the stuff that memories are made of!Basically, I spent my ten days in SF going to all of my favorite places - restaurants, music venues, friends’ houses, and of course, Mount Tamalpais. (Joe, if you’re reading this - I know what you’re thinking!) It really is a magical place, as is most of the California coast.    I had a pretty amazing trip, all in all.
