Philly Things in San Francisco
1. The LOVE sculpture, @ SF MoMA
2. The old 23 trolley, a long way from Germantown Avenue
3. Wilt Chamberlain, on the zombie Philadelphia Warriors. He only lasted about a year before coming back to join his hometown’s new team, the 76ers

She came in through the bathroom window,
Protected by a silver spoon.
But now she sucks her thumb and wonders
By the banks of her own lagoon.
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me.
Protected by a silver spoon.

A bucket-list hobby since I was 8. Insanely dangerous and terrifying—spent more $ on protective gear than the bike. Also terrifying, being a grown-ass man enduring the humiliations of learning in public. But like many things, living a life without ever trying was scarier to me than the thing itself.
