San Francisco is a great city and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Time for something different, however. I am moving to New York City in January. I will be leaving San Francisco on Thursday afternoon and spending some time traveling between now and January 26th, when I head to NYC. Good bye SF, it was fun.

Road trip to Texas
Tomorrow morning I am leaving for Texas. When I drove from Texas to San Francisco in January of 2007 I said to myself I would never do it again, but in today’s world I guess never < 2 years. Going to take a bit of scenic route this time. Here is the map. It breaks down as follows:
Day 1: San Francisco, CA to Pismo Beach, CA (via Hwy 1)
Day 2: Pismo Beach, CA to Grand Canyon, AZ
Day 3: Grand Canyon, AZ to Albuquerque, NM
Day 4: Albuquerque, NM to Lubbock, TX
Day 5: Lubbock, TX to Houston, TX
Day 6: Houston, TX to San Antonio, TX
Total trip is 2383 miles. Will try to post some pictures along the way.
California Road Trip
Granted, it’s not a 7000 mile trek on a 1985 Honda motorcycle, but 1081 miles in a semi-comfortable car is long enough for me. Heading out tomorrow, be back in about a week. Hope to see a few friends along the way.

King of Wii
We had a friendly Wii tennis tourney today. Matt won although I think there may have been some hanging chads involved. As a tribute to his victory, I have included the photo below.
Worst policy…ever
I’m sitting on a plane heading to NYC. In front of me there are 16 empty rows. Behind me there is maybe 1 empty seat. United won’t let anyone move up unless they pay a $54 upgrade. No wonder this airline doesn’t make any money – what a dumb move.
Lesson learned
If you have a middle name, use it when booking air travel. It could save you hassle and a trip to the FBI watch list.
