My Years in San Francisco

Last night, Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants threw a no-hitter against the Padres in San Diego.  I have heard a couple of times on the radio, the final out call by Duane Kuiper on KNBR radio San Francisco.  Suffice to say, whenever I hear one of Kuip's calls now, I think back to all the years I spent in the City by the Bay.  For the record, I was there from 96-04, and then again from 07-08...all totaled, just about 10 years.

Now, understand...I do not regret for one moment all the time I spent there.  I truly spent a lot of enjoyable years there during the young adult period of my life.  And San Francisco is an absolutely great place for a secularist person in their late 20's and early 30's.

What happened was I think I just outgrew it.  The Bay Area is a terrific adult playground.  But in the end, I just was no longer interested in any of the arrested development the place offers to those who seek it.
