TasterSpoon

I wouldn't mind living in San Francisco, I'd like to think I'm on the Peninsula, but the jarring reality is that I may in fact qualify as South Bay.

Born a small infant, I eventually grew big enough to fit the clothes I wore in high school, and still wear, despite the complaints of certain, more fashionable friends.

As I've said on other occasions, I'm highly context-dependent. Shy/friendly, cheap/generous, selfish/kind, picky/hungry. Depends when you get me. The unfortunate upshot of this is that my take on the Bay Area and what I'm up to will undoubtedly be colored by my passing frame of mind. But I like to think I provide a broad frame of reference.

I've lived around here for 5 years - enough to see the boom and the bust and whatever's going on now, but can still hold this region up against the other coast, and the coasts up against the midwest, and the U.S. up against the U.K., and the West up against the East.

I was a lousy and reluctant high school athlete - now I'm thoroughly engaged in triathlon (and all the associated friendly people). But as much as I like being active in an organized way, I like being active in a disorganized way and seeing what's outside and all around. And as much as I like being active at all, I also really like being sedentary.

I'm going to have to come back and edit this later. Since I don't know what this blog's all about yet, it's premature to guess what might be relevant "about" type information. The "Taster Spoon" name came out of an inability to decide and wish to try everything at once. (Related tip: there's this gelato place near my house that not only lets you try as many tastes as you want, you can even order a single scoop and get as many as three flavors in it. Awesome! Note: green tea and pretty much any other flavor don't really go.)

I'm always game for feedback.
