4. Walking to Green Apple, poring over piles of books like someone with all the time in the world.

8. Birthday dinner at Cafe Gratitude- yummy quinoa and live enchiladas with garden veg. pate.
9. Singing Christmas carols with friends and strangers alike while playing a paper plate as a drum during a rendition of “Little Drummer Boy”.

Arrested Development – YES to all its seasons! And to Blue Bottle, Green Apple, and so on… especially to December babies!
