i forgot to write that i 'cheezed' it up on friday night ~~ i rode the oakland-alameda ferry into the city. mind you it was the last one of the night and it was COLD!!! it was fun -- altho probably the most touristy thing i could have done so far here. no wait -- i did do the alcatraz-bay bridge boat ride last year. :-)

right now at the ticket counter waiting for people to check-in. nothing exciting yet.

been sorta 'chattin' with a few more folks on AOL lately. some of them are actually *liking* me. not that it's a bad thing -- i'm just not used to it. more later.
