That's the Pacific. Within walking distance of our apartment. Whoa.
The view down our street.Since landing yesterday in California, we've accomplished the following:
- Moved into our sublet in the Outer Richmond, a mostly residential neighborhood just blocks from the Pacific Ocean that has beautiful views of the Ocean, more beautiful views of Golden Gate State Park, lots of delicious looking dim sum and Asian restaurants, cold temperatures (no, seriously. You cannot walk around past sunset without a good coat.) and fog. As we were walking back to our apartment from getting groceries this evening, we stopped and watched the fog start to roll in.
- I had two interviews today, both completely different, both pretty good. Fingers crossed, everyone.
- We figured out neighborhood essentials like groceries, laundry, the nearest post box, etc.
- Made good attempts to understand a new city's bus system.
- Got connected to the internet in our apartment. Seems like a ridiculously trivial thing but hey, Butter Lamb Must keep going.
In other news, Dan has an interview in Oakland tomorrow, and gets to drive across the big, bad Oakland Bay Bridge by himself. Keep the good thoughts coming.

Oh no! Driving across a big bridge! Oh no! [I'm actually serious, and not being at facetious, because less than a year ago I was forced to drive across the Causeway after having learned how to drive one month before. I never sweated so much in my life!]
I'll be thinking soothing bridge driving thoughts!
Good luck to both of you with the interviews. Poor butter lamb has been thru the mill, but HEY!! California!! Maybe his new hairdo will cause a different kind of stir. Maybe the hosts of What Not to Wear will spot him and offer him a 5G wardrobe and an air conditioned trip back to NY!! or MA!
