Just a quick note to say that there was a significant earthquake here about 20 minutes ago. I was lying in bed watching Discovery Channel, thinking about last weeks’ fires and that sometimes we get earthquakes when we have hot weather out here in California—we call it shake-n-bake—when suddenly everything started shaking.

At 5.6 on the Richter scale, it counts as a big earthquake, but since the Bay Area has been pretty widely strengthened since the 1989 Loma Prieta quake, I doubt there will be any serious damage reported.

Anyway, for what it’s worth, I’m fine. I will now return to my Discovery Channel program, already in progress.

Fall is in the air, and it’s rained extensively here over the past few weeks. San Francisco is one of those places where it is cold when everywhere else is hot, warm when everywhere is cold, and windy, always windy! Basically, there are only two seasons here: mild and wet, then cool and dry. When it rains, it really pours. When it is dry, it is dry for months at a time. But I love it all the time!

When I first moved here from San Diego on January 21, 1993—the day after President Bill Clinton was inaugurated—I had no idea how in love I would fall with this place.  It really is a magical oasis, the kind that dreams are made of, but I just call it home.

It’s been wild ride, to say the least. I even left town for a few years to go back to school at SDSU. After graduation, I took a job in Las Vegas, but San Francisco was always the place where I would return.
