== November ==

We went to San Francisco's First Thursday block party. It was a pretty good time though most of the food is quite expensive. This was right by where I used to work and quite close to home so we just biked over.

We also went to the SF MOMA party but that wasn't that much fun because it was quite crowded. Funnily enough we ran into the head of the HOA of our old building there. Small world.

We went to visit my cousin in LA for Thanksgiving. I've always liked Los Angeles but the traffic there is positively insane. Fortunately, because it was a holiday things were better. If I hadn't gotten myself into a motorcycle accident I bet Julie would have let me ride there and then it wouldn't be too bad to live there because lane-splitting removes traffic.

Then it was off to India.
