Seattle is a city continuously defining the future with the technology in development at Amazon, Microsoft or an up-and-coming startup.
I was born and raised 30-45 minutes outside of Seattle, but I consider the city home after living in San Francisco.
Most tourists go to Lake Tahoe or Yosemite National Park, leaving Bear Valley, which is nestled between the two, the best-kept secret of the Sierra National Forest.
We drank all the wine and left with the champagne.
Did you know butterflies have four stages of life? They must crawl as an ugly larvae before flying as a beautiful butterfly.
“The City by the Bay,” “SF” or simply “The City” is where I call home since July 2016.
Did you know the modern graffiti movement began when a high school student started tagging city walls in Philadelphia to get the attention of a girl?
The biological function of a flower is to cause reproduction.
I can never find parking at Muir Woods in Marin so I often go to Lucas Valley Preserve to escape the madness of San Francisco.
Wholesome like the boy next door who happened to stumble onto the largest leather fest for the first time.
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
While walking through the dark forest, Dorothy, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow get scared when they start hearing noises coming from the foliage around them. The Scarecrow wonders if there are any animals out there who might be interested in eating things like, um, straw, and the Tin Man's like, Yeah, there are probably lions and tigers and bears out there. Whatever.
Naturally, this causes the Scarecrow to anxiously repeat, "Lions and tigers and bears," and Dorothy throws in the good old "oh my" for dramatic effect. Pretty soon, the three rapscallions are skipping through the forest chanting, "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!"
This line is spoken by Dorothy, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow, played by Judy Garland, Jack Haley, and Ray Bolger (respectively) in the film The Wizard of Oz, directed by Victor Fleming (1939).
Your shower can tell a lot about you. You get naked there, keep your prescriptions and store your daily beauty supplies. For me, it’s where I escape. With a simple click of the lock, *poof* no annoyances. My shower - and the things I store in it - describe me as a person and I bet yours does too.
Because of the naked gay men, because of the best view of the Golden Gate, because of the sandy beaches with rocks to play in, Marshall’s Beach is my favorite spot for a getaway in San Francisco. On a hot sunny weekend, whether young or old, most hit the beach to take it off and be seen.
My restless, roaming spirit loves large trees.
