Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2002 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason.

Today my sister took me to a terrific restaurant at Dwight and San Pablo. Tallulah is like Venus was a few years ago, before people discovered it and it got busy and the preparation got rushed. I had a terrific home-fries-and-portobello-mushroom dealie. Recommended! Thanks, Nandini!

I also visited a bar with a coworker and her girlfriend. My three selections on the jukebox (3 songs for a dollar): "Don't Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow)" by Fleetwood Mac; "Basket Case" by Green Day; and "Hook" by Blues Traveler, in that order. All rather important songs to my cohort, I think -- self-aware, self-loathing, reminders of Clinton, and catchy.
