i seriously cannot believe it's 2008. i know i say that every year, but i swear as i get older time flies by much faster.

i was reading an article in sfgate about the changing demographic of SF, and how they're buidling so many new high rises and luxury condos around the city, especially in places that are being "rebuilt." it was weird when we were there this past weekend, there were so many new buildings in SOMA, all very tall, modern, luxury condos and lofts. the article was saying that the population of SF will become mostly white and asian, pushing out the blacks and hispanics as housing prices soar even more with these new buildings. i don't know how much truth there is in that statement, but it would be very sad. i mean isn't the diversity of any big city like SF what really makes that city? the article mentioned a district in SF called the dogpatch. where the hell is that?!

while we were out there, we also drove around our old 'hood, SSF and millbrae. it was so weird to be back there. it's changed little, but felt so different. it was cold and foggy and i don't miss that at all. :) at least when it's 20 degrees in denver, the sun is still shining and everything looks beautiful!

well, hope everyone has a safe, happy, healthy, prosperous new year!!
