leith, if you read this...i have a friend coming down from san fransisco...hes lived there for about 6 months now, and prior to that grew up in albany with me. I described you as man in his mid-late 30\'s, longish light brown hair, skinny, and probably wearing a grateful dead or some other tie-dye shirt. he will approach you saying that he knows me. hes a good guy, name is mike...give him a friendly west coast welcome.
