As we sat outside Peet's Coffee at Fillmore and Sacramento this morning enjoying our morning coffee, I told Jennifer that I felt 100% over the nasty head cold which I had had for the past two weeks. She suggested that it must be the result of starting to take fish oil again. "Actually, I said, "I think it's the glass of Scotch that I indulged in last night."

The UPS truck in front of us just pulled away. The little plaque on the side of the big brown truck said, "Jimmy O'Sullivan. 16 years of Safe Driving." No mean feat here in San Francisco. Congratulations Jimmy!

It's been an unusually rainy April here in the City by the Bay. This morning, however, has been beautiful and sunny, although I see some clouds starting to creep in from the south.

The weather here in San Francisco takes some getting used to, even though I've lived here for 15 years. I grew up in Wisconsin where we had distinct seasons -- winter and the 4th of July. In San Francisco, the seasons are much different. For one, it doesn't rain from late April until late October. Summers are cold and foggy. September and October are spectacular and the best time to visit. The period from April through June is the second best time to visit because the weather is good and everything is green from the winter rains. November through March is the rainy season and we can get some incredible storms.

After putting considerable thought into this, I've come to the following conclusions about the Seasons of San Francisco:

• Summer is Winter.

• Fall is Summer.

• Winter is Spring.

• Spring is Summer.

If you want Winter, you need to drive to Tahoe.
