    Too much to do in San Francisco to mention. Lots of plant related places to visit both civic and businesses.

    One word of caution: DO NOT CALL IT "FRISCO" while you are there!

    Of course I wouldn't call it that...I know better...I'd be pretty ticked if everyone referred to my town as "the Ford"!

    I heard that there was an impressive collection someplace in Golden Gate part (actually, it was a book that I read that did a big section on the history of importation to the US). Well, I must to the MOMA at some point (I liked it better than the NY one anyway...no offense to the NY collection...which is nice...but I seem to remember a Paul Klee painting with a broom attached to it...I always loved stuff like that...and Dadaism and not just because of the name.

    I loved the North end (can't you tell I live close to Boston...or is that only an insiders kind of joke). I passed on the Stinking Rose however...I love garlic, but the group of people was with didn't.

    I love the Stinking Rose, but beware the 40 garlic chicken! Those guys aren't messing around! ie, don't try this at home!

    I can see what my niece is up to. She's with the Coast Guard out there. I'm no help in Texas!

    Hey, why can't we plan fun stuff when you're here at home???
