OK, due to popular pressure (maybe that’s too strong a word), here’s here’s the rant about how I’d leave San Francisco in a minute if inertia and the weather didn’t continue to exert a certain pull.

And no, I don’t really think it’s a great idea for 16-year-olds to smoke pot. I also don’t think that it is, by definition and in all cases, particularly abnormal nor indicative of some greater problem. Lots of 16-year-olds try it. Most of them grow out of it…
I’d already pretty much grown out of it by the time I turned 17. It takes some people a little longer, I guess, but still…
