Another Singapore Trip Comes To An End

My last evening in Singapore. I wanted to get something nice for Lisa, since she has been so good about putting up with these trips, and keeping the train on track at home. Anyway she loves all things Prada, and there is a Prada store about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. I head over, make my purchase, start walking back. It is now about 8:30 PM on a Friday night. Let's just say I learned a valuable lesson, don't walk past the "Orchard Towers" if your a guy by yourself carrying a Prada bag at that time or later on a Friday night. If you don't get this, google "Orchard Towers Singapore". Time to board my flight home.

15 Years Later At the Farallon

I have lived in the bay area going on 25 years now (off and on). I have moved away twice and come back twice. But that is a story for another post. Alexa did a sleepover last night, so Lisa and I did something we have not done in years. Headed for the city (San Francisco) after 8:00 PM. We tried for a table at Gary Danko (good luck on that) but ended up at my fav "The Farallon". As we were dining last night we figured out that we have been going to the Farallon for 15 years at least. We found it by working our way through the 100 best places to eat in San Francisco. Each time we seem to have a unique experience that includes a mix of fab food, ambience, people, wine. They range taking the parents out for great seafood, celebrating a business success with an endless stream of Billicart, to bumping into the Metallica guys. What a great night with my babe, we sat, ate, reminisced, drank a stellar Pahlmeyer 2006, and took a trip down memory lane. If your in SF don't miss it.
