Live from San Francisco

It’s probably morally wrong to blog on your honeymoon (Laurie and I got married on Monday) but what can I say? I wanted some news on the impending war, but our hotel room has no TV. On a whim, I turned on my PowerBook and checked to see if there were any open wireless access points in range—and there were. I love San Francisco already. I made sure to secure permission from my new wife (ha!) before going online. She clearly loves me if she’s prepared to put up with this sort of behavior. For my sins, I have now got my fill of depressing news for the day and can spend the rest of it having a good time.

In case you’re wondering why the room has no TV, it’s because we’re staying at the Red Victorian, a super-cool, peace-and-love B&B in the Haight. We’re in the Peacock Suite, which has—amongst other things—a shrine in the corner. Cool.

OK, I’m off to the Palace of the Legion of Honor to see the DaVinci and Poland exhibit.

Congratulations. My husband checked in with work routinely while on our honeymoon, way before the days of Internet hook-ups. Searching for a phone in the far reaches of northern Quebec was not easy—it’s only after the honeymoon that we become so damned demanding!

Congratulations! (Waves from across San Francisco Bay).

There’s a party for Pierre-Olivier and Marion Gourinchas this afternoon in Berkeley, at Gerard Roland’s house…

Not immoral; though it could prove a tactical error on the long run.. :-)

Woohoo! I’ve been looking forward to seeing how you’d blog the news, nice.:) ‘Sounds like a wonderful trip, I’m sure you are having a grand time. And what great timing with Marion and Pierre in the area, hope you all get to see each other.

Congratulations!

Hey, congrats. Have fun in SF today.

I’ve stayed at the Red Victorian. It’s great. Nice honeymoon vibes.

It can’t be good for you to quit blogging cold turkey—- especially during “Shock and Awe.” Best to withdraw a little bit.

Congratulations.

Have fun in Chicago. Make sure to visit
the world famous O’Farrel theater.

Oh, wait, you’re on your honeymoon. Probably
not the right time…

Have a wonderful honeymoon and try not to let the war get in the way!! There will be plenty to blog about AFTER the honeymoon, DURING the occupation…… Cheers, LC

Congratulations to you both. I hope you have a great time on your honeymoon and a happy and prosperous future.

Congratulations on the wedding!

And for goodness sakes, shelve the blog ‘til you get home. =)

Why the heck did I write ‘Chicago’? I meant San Fran, of course.

Here’s a piece of brotherly advice…….enjoy your vaca and stay off the web!!

Many congratulations. Statistically, of course, you are now less likely to fall victim to crime…
