Raining day

It was raining. All day. Dark clouds hovered San Francisco, Parking was abundant in the Mission. Walked over to the restaurant on 17th for lunch. Sipping warm coffee, ordering food and talking about people and new year resolutions. It's the typical story of the sort. The inevitability of pondering - why is it hard to find good people to settle down with? It's economics, really, the good ones were taken, the good ones were in short supply, competition was fierce. Holidays were the worst. The expectation of being together, the expectation of not being together, people got bended out of shape.

Never been a fan of holidays. Though am a big fan of new year resolutions. Like letting the past go, being calmer, less anxious, less in need of validation.

Later on in a bar, told a friend about my past and friend told me of his net worth. Perhaps that's how women and men differed. We each had something that we were so afraid of other people to find out about ourselves, and our demons were demons, regardless what colors and shape they came in.

Soon two would leave for back east and one would leave for central valley.

A year had nearly gone by. The rain had finally stopped.
