Today, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said out loud what many Californians (and probably a lot of other people around the world) have thought, or maybe didn’t think because why would they: “No matter where you go in the world, people still want to come to California,” Schwarzenegger said. “There’s no one screaming like, ‘I can’t [...]

California Dreamin’
Here I am in California, but it feels like purgatory. My family and I are here for a month, in and out of the Sacramento-area, while my husband completes a medical school rotation. It’s been about a year since I’ve spent any length of time here, and right now it feels like such a tease. [...]

June Gloom
It happened to be a glorious day in Iowa. Not just for me. I heard the word “glorious” spoken several times out of several mouths. It was a “glorious” day. And a rare one. While some of my cohorts in San Francisco are suffering from June Gloom, I had a remarkably fanastic day in Iowa. [...]

Natives Among Us
When I was growing up in San Diego in the ’80s (I acknowledge I am dating myself, but hey, 30 is the new 20) a certain bumper sticker began to appear on rear windows and bumpers on cars all over the city. It resembled California’s license plate at the time basic blue background and gold [...]

Iowa: The new SF
Have I been waiting all this time for a line like this to come into my brainspace? Thank you to newspaperman Phil Bronstein for pointing this out. As a San Francisco-o-phile living in Iowa, I felt some deep churning in my belly when I read these words from Bronstein yesterday (thanks Jamie for sending this [...]
