The San Francisco Dungeon

" I don't like that. " as I sat on a crate by myself in a dimly lit room awaiting the start of the experience of The San FranciscoDungeon . Four doors were in front of me and one had someone attempting to open from the other side a bit violently.  My roommate, Kim, returned from using the restroom and sat next to me. After our photo was taken in front of a green screen, we waited for the show to begin.  Thinking we were the only two for a 9 PM show, two gents from Kentucky arrived.

I am scheduled to run a half marathon benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in January 2019 at Walt Disney World  (book your trip with me! Now a Certified Disney Travel Agent.) I have recruited my friend, Nelly, to join me and he's doing great. I am doing alright as well. The farthest I have ran so far in one attempt is 10 miles. Those runs consist of running from the Argonaut Hotel where I work to Fort Point, a couple of laps around the Marina Green and/or Fort Mason, the Aquatic Park Pier and back to the hotel. I have learned that I hate running in the sun, need a breeze to keep me from overheating and I also want to be a better driver and make sure I look to my right for pedestrians and runners.  I have had many encounters with drivers not being aware of their sur
