I forgot to mention that when I was in the city last night, Renee, Akasha, Lisa, and I stopped by the Embarcadero Hyatt to check out their Christmas display ... and there were bins all around saying, "Donate Your Coat!" Well, earlier that day I had bought a new coat online and had been wondering what to do with my old coat, so this seemed fortuitous. I took off my coat, emptied the pockets, and donated it then and there. Of course, this left me without a coat when we walked several blocks back to the car (at least it wasn't raining) ... and the new coat won't arrive for another week or two, so I'm slightly inconvenienced. But how could I resist? And now I'll just wear my cloak for a couple weeks.
