Just going through my RSS reader this morning and noticed some favorites are going to San Francisco to the BlogHer conference there. It only occurred to me this morning that these folks may not have been to San Francisco before in July. (This blogger not included since she lives there already) That made me think of the first baseball game I attended at Candlestick Park after moving to the SF Bay area. It was 90 degrees in San Jose, just a few miles south. So I wore my shorts and t-shirt to Candlestick, against the advice of my then fiance. It was in the high 50s and windy at Candlestick. I nearly froze my ovaries off. Which makes me want to turn the clock back to yesterday so I could tell my friends who are going to BlogHer to PACK SOMETHING WARM TO WEAR! You gonna FREEZE if you pack just summer clothes!
There's an old quote attributed to Mark Twain (that folks now say he actually never said) But it sounds like him nonetheless:
"The coldest winter I ever spent was the summer I spent in San Francisco."
Godspeed, BlogHer attendees. Godspeed.
