California, Coming Home

I was born in San Francisco but haven't been "home" for 22 years. Too busy going around the world, too poor, too busy parenting. But I got an invitation I couldn't resist: the opportunity to hold forth on activism in a keynote presentation at a fundraising conference. So, tickets bought, relatives called, I'll fly into the city of my first five years and give a speech only 20 minutes from my kindergarten and the former kangaroo farm at my bus stop!

See you there?
