I’m a little behind this week but figure that’s okay, because the week is supposed to be all about friends and family. Although my San Francisco “family” is small (growing fast!), people here have been very generous in including me in their holiday plans. Between people I’m meeting and people who are moving or visiting, I won’t be lonely as Thanksgiving morphs into an all-out holiday blur. Dan is coming to San Francisco (from Massachusetts), as is my friend Eddie (from L.A.), and I just learned that one of the super-invaluable student workers from Green Street has now graduated and moved from Connecticut to Oakland.

This week’s cultural outings will include:

Thursday, November 27, 4:30am
Un-Thanksgiving on Alcatraz

Saturday, November 29, 10am
Buskers at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market

Sunday, November 30, noon
Bazaare Bizarre at the San Francisco County Fair Building, followed by a stroll around the Academy of Sciences
