Writing

I have taken to writing a bit more over the course of the past year, mostly via my blog; "Urban Ambles". The focus of the blog has been, as the title suggests, recounting walks and journeys; both in around my neighborhood, the San Francisco Bay Area, and beyond. I have also shared a few place-centric reminisces in that space.

Here are a few excerpts, and you can check out the current blog entries here:
