Not a huge list but for my ny readers it is rather fun to bring your dog to places and relax with a drink.

I have started getting the SF Chronicle wednesday through sunday. The big ones for me are food on wednesday and wine (beer!) on friday. I could read it online but its nice to have a paper on the bus and on the weekend in the garden.
Well presented article on where we are at with farmed fish and seafood. I didn't know salmon was as bad as it is. I will try and not order it as much.
