Re: Hello from San Francisco

Thanks for the warm welcome, everybody! ("Tony Bennett's favorite cardiac unit," that's a good one, Red River! :D ) Also thanks for the tip about the Creamery's coconut cream cake, Lynn. I definitely need to check that out. I missed the Silent Movie Festival at the Castro this year, but ma...
