All I can say is, “WOW!!!!!” Dana, Lindsey, and I just returned from seeing WICKED. I have stars in my eyes and a song in my head that keeps repeating, “Because I knew you…….la, la, la. Gosh, I wish Scott Whitehead had been here, I think he would have loved it. This is the kind of musical that keeps people going back for a similar experience. I am sooo glad Lindsey found tickets for cheap. I really want to buy the sound track and learn all the music. When we were walking home the fog had rolled in above us and it was truly a magical moment. Too fun!
Foggyy Evening
Earlier in the day we attended a class at the California Historical Society where I think we were able to look at some really summeries of cases that led to Brown vs. Board of Education like Plessy vs. Ferguson, Dred Scott, etc. That was cool.
Also, there was a very interesting, handwritten letter from James Otis’s nephew chronicling his adventures across the ocean to China at the age of 16. Pretty cool stuff and his beautiful handwriting is a great example to show students.

Afterward, Linsey and I took off for Haight-Ashbury, saw lots of peace and love. 
Then headed for some inexpensive shopping in China townwhere I bought a yellow San Francisco jacket which made me quite happy. Up until then I was shivering in the San Francisco cold. Now life is good again.
