After a week or more of gray skies and cold, rainy days the sun came up today. It reminded me why I haven't moved away from this place yet. Last summer there were more cold, gray days than sunny, especially in the prime summer months. The majority of that time I felt a little like "Speed" Levitch, a New York City native and tour guide who declares in the film entitled "The Cruise" that his relationship with New York is not always good. In fact, he sometimes hates New York. Last summer, I hated San Francisco. We were not on speaking terms.
Today, as I walked up Ashbury, the 45 degree morning chilling my hands while the sun hit my forehead, I was reminded why I stay. There are always those periods of time when I'm giving San Francisco the silent treatment and vice versa. But, the extremes always lure me back in. Just two weekends ago it was 75 degrees. This week it was so cold the snap took snow to the Sierras. And, the past week's torrential rain storm with some hail thrown in was just wild enough to make today absolutely amazing!
