Flypaper thoughts last night in San Francisco version

• Spent a week here with the kids
• Who needless to say are good sports
• Really, really good sports
• Just ask them
• Interesting trip
• First leg with my mom being the kid
• Next leg with my kid being the mom
• Things change but that also brings in such nice surprises
• Got to know my daughter-in-law a little better
• Let me tell you this family sure scored with that one
• So kind, thoughtful, and interesting
• They are a unit, a good unit
• It doesn't get any better than that
• For your kid or for his mother
• What did I do here?
• Went to Britex which was nice but very overpriced
• Strong sense that my NYC garment district negotiating skills would not get me far
• Feel shrugging and walking away would just lead to 
• Well them watching me walk away
• As opposed to saying
• I can give it to you for ... probably more than the marked price actually
• Had lovely folks in a another store show me the inside of designer clothes
• Pics to come
• Walked and walked and walked
• Up hills more than down hills
• Not sure how they do that
• This city is so beautiful you can't compare it to anything else
• Reminded me more of Europe than anywhere else
• Need to get the travel wardrobe down much better
• Continuing my policy of packing mostly shoes and clothes for some other climate
• Middle son is moving to Austin Texas
• This family, honestly
• They know there is no point
• I will just come and visit
• Got the spouse seeing what the state parks are like in Texas
• What I am learning about packing
• You don't need to pack three hats
• You do need to a pack one sweater
• Just because the label says California this town isn't
• People smile here
• I am sure I recognize that smell in the air
• The bus driver is driving a bus until he can sell his software idea
• I am considering calling my fabric collection
• A non profit based start up investment concept
• Going to sell my husband on the concept of being a VC
• Have to explain that means venture capitalist not very confused
• Which he often is when I explain I am spending money to save money
• Or I might if I could get the start up part of this operation launched
• Before the first quarter
• Or new pattern releases whatever comes first
• Borrowed a dog to walk from son's co-worker
• Walked across the Golden Gate bridge which is orange
• That part without the dog
• Went to the first winery started by a migrant worker
• Gave dating advice to son's co-worker
• A topic I really know a lot about
• He's doing tons of first dates from some app
• I have three sisters so I know what women want I said
• Did not mention that all sisters, plus myself, have seen menopause come and go
• Good advice is still good advice
• I thought he was pretty impressed
• Son cleared the table
• Well at least I scored some dog walking didn't I?
• Tomorrow back for another short stop with my mom
• The kids can recover 
• Then home
• Did I mention I got a new Juki serger and cover hem?
• More on that later
• Got a real deal
• Just ask my VC
