May 2016

I leave home in Pacifica around 8am on a Saturday morning with my thermos of Earl Grey tea with honey and half and half. I drive up Highway 1 through sun and fog, along the ocean and over the Golden Gate Bridge, listening to Stevie Nicks lament lost loves. I finally emerge into Marin County, where I stop to get food for the day at Good Earth in Mill Valley — beet salad, a baked tofu sandwich, and sparkling water for lunch; tamari roasted almonds, dark chocolate, and tiny clementines for snacks.
