Who is handsome and silly and obsessed with Lord of the Rings and gives amazing talks and turns 34 years old today?

SF art: sculptures

Click through to my Flickr photostream and view in lightbox to see these at their best. Next time: paintings.

so, San Francisco was pleasing

Once upon a scorching August my husband was sent to a nerd convention in San Fran, and I got to get on a plane all by myself and join him for the last few days of the adventure. Highlights? Why yes:

- I got to get on a plane all by myself.

- We found Indonesian food and ate it until our bellies could take no more.

- The hotel staff assumed I was a lady of the night.

- access to the hotel's executive breakfast suite.

- wandering around the breathtaking De Young and Legion of Honor museums.

- seeing friends we hadn't seen in a good number of years.

- finding a hidden beach near Davenport and getting salty water all over me.

- riding random buses by myself and getting lost.

So this might be a bit of an adjustment; there are no pictures of children attached to this post, and because I'm more of an art fanatic than I tend to let on on this here blog you had better brace yourself for lots of images of art I enjoyed at the aforementioned museums. 

More SF pictures to follow (and trust me when I say there's an abundance of more).
