Can't wait for the chance to take Don Herron's Hammett tour in San Francisco. There's something about that city that's inexhaustible. I never knew how involved I was until I moved away.
I've really come to rely on your take on things, even more so than Olberman or Maddow, or even Codrescu or...Lynn Coulter. Ahem. Too bad you can't do it on video. Or maybe you can.
I have come to read Mr. Burchfield's essays on travel in the San Francisco Bay area through several other channels, and each time the discovery is as vivid as being there in person.
