I'm that guy


The guy who gets temporarily fired and goes to San Francisco.

I'm staying in the well appointed downtown pad of some friends and their dogs. Directly across the street is the opera house where I saw the Phillip Glass Ensemble perform Koyaniskatsi. Four blocks over is the city hall where Gavin Newsom performed a mass marriage ceremony for hundreds of same-sex couples in 2004. I woke up that morning and cried, listening to the account of all those people, some young, many old, who had waited for so long. Yes I'm that guy, in that city, and now I feel free.
