 I have always loved the idea of settling down in the Bay Area, and San Francisco is my number one city I see myself having a little dog in, and a garden, and walking my kids to school with other brown children--someday.  I'm not sure their names or anything specific, but I have always thought that it would be nice, if/when I have them, to have my kids be bilingual, and growing up around the infinite number of foods, languages, customs, and cultures that SF has to offer.   These same brown children (that I DON'T HAVE, mind you) are the reason that I am in a funk this morning.  Because even though they are imaginary, I still have to think about that inevitable day that I will have to sit my sons down and tell them How Not To Get Shot.
