Sure, many of my friends are not spending time on any social networks.  Or perhaps they are and I just don't know it.  I have been having fun online lately--trying to figure out the appeal of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.  I have always been a fan of creating community, and have been enjoying connecting with new people, connecting with old friends.  Facebook has been a way of reconnecting with friends and former colleagues and getting a glimpse of what is happenning in their lives.

Last night I attended a food and wine pairing, to benefit the Friends of San Francisco Independent Living Skills Program, hosted by a good friend (and attended by old friends and new friends).  It was great fun!

I noticed my irritation when I was walking down Stockton Street towards Union Square last Saturday, and I noticed it was rising.  There was a huge crowd blocking the sidewalk near the corner of Post Street, and I was planning to zip in and out of a store to run one quick errand.

Ok, not a pleasant, uplifting topic to discuss.  I am surprised at how many people in the Bay Area are hungry--and how they are supported by local food banks, including SF Food Bank. 

To read about the recent Hunger Challenge, where several Bay Area food bloggers agreed to eat all of their meals for $21--an average of $1 per meal.  Please donate money to the Food Bank and participate in the Tyson's Food Challenge.  Thanks.
