What Ever Happened To Predictability? (San Francisco, CA)

What ever happened to predictability?

I think what Jesse Frederick meant was that you never know what’s “waiting just around the bend”.

I never expected to find that I have so much in common with the inmates of Alcatraz…

The difference for me is that I'm not even guaranteed the first three, but thus far my Groupons (and benefactors) have come through in a pinch.

I too have limited visitation regulations...

and Regulation #25 states that "you are not allowed to have money".

Luckily, my companion for the day was willing to trade me for some souvenirs including my new wallet. #treasured

Having only ever seen Alcatraz in the movie, "The Rock", I didn't expect it to be so pretty...

...or to have such a great view.

I also never considered how small the cells really are.

I think my entire lower leg hung off the edge of the bed. Talk about a deterrent.

As my sentence nears it’s end, only 65 days remain, I consider where to settle down. The plan is Chicago, but if this Full House ever becomes available, I’d have to give it some serious thought.

"The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV..."

Speaking of planning, I mentioned recently that my plan after San Fran was to head to Austin for the SXSW Festival and I was pretty pleased with myself for actually deciding on some destinations a little further in advance than usual. Well, it serves me right…I’m actually headed to Chicago for a little bit after being reminded that (cue music), “when you’re lost out there and you’re all alone, a light is waiting to carry you home”.

Actually, I have some exciting ideas for a big finish but I’ll need to make a stop in the Windy City if I want any of that to come to fruition.

Sorry Austin, I still hope to make it there before the end. If you’re in Chicago and want to meet up. I’ll be arriving in town on Tuesday, March 15 late in the evening so email me at [email protected] or text (312) 884-1842.

  1. While I am happy for you to get to go home, I am cometely bummed about you ditching Austin. You have to get to Texas during your tour, and Austin is the bes choice. While we can’t offer you a place to stay (recently inherited a roommate), we can offer rides, bus passes, toiletries, etc. Hope to see you here. :)
