For the best Greek food in San Francisco, there is only one place to go. Meze on Chestnut Street blends old world charm with down right amazing food. Sit in the bar, enjoy a glass of white wine from Greece, and then feast on a variety of plates that are sure to please.

This is my favorite spot in the city.

WuShu Champ in Action

Here is a quick clip I took today of one of students in the bay area who is a competitor in the sport of WuShu.

Cool Video

Here is a video posted by one of my students who was in Munich during the summer.

San Francisco

If you are downtown San Francisco tonight, you are probably, like us, stuck in absolute traffic hell. It is a great scene down here; lots of people here for the parade, and there is a great energy - but hopefully you are not in a car.

Took some cool photos that I hope to post in the next day or so.

These entry is coming via my blackberry so we will see how fast the mobile blogging uploads.

If you are in SF tonight, have fun and be safe.

On the road again

Today, I am driving down to LA from Santa Clara. Along I-5 you really get an idea of how much of California is really farm and ag land.

Got a great email from a mom that said her daughter had been accepted to her #1 college choice. She said she was so happy she would cry. Emails like that make me really proud of the work we are doing here at ESM/Singer Group.

For those of you who love to surf the internet, I'd suggest getting Sprint's area wide coverage. Even at 80 mph I am able to log on (I am not the driver). Don't know how I was able to get away with that prior.

Photos to follow.
