A Quick First Post

I'm sitting in Cafe La Boheme, in the Mission District. ZRNet would like me to be using their pay-for-it wireless service, but some good soul has an unsecured network that I can pick up inside the Cafe. As a result, I've created a blog for my experiences in this city.

Quick recap: My father and I drove for 26 hours straight from Austin to arrive in San Francisco, and we stayed in a Travelodge in Millbrae last night. Today I met people who have places that I might live in, and pretty much decided on where I'll be living, at least for 2 months. It looks like a good set up so far.

Magill (the kitty) is in a cage in a minivan right now, beneath the Travelodge. I feel like a jerk doing that, but there's nowhere else she can stay. She got to frolick around the hotel room last night, so she's not doing too bad. And tomorrow morning she'll have a flat to run around in with two dogs. We'll see how that works out...

I'm meeting Dad at 24th and Mission in about 2 minutes, so I'll wrap this up, and finish my coffee. I feel great that I have a place to live for tomorrow, and probably beyond. I have the rest of this week to soak up some city and get settled. Monday, work begins.
