Love: This chalkboard map of the United States, which I got for Stella's birthday from etsy seller "shopdirtsa". I'm working to pass onto my girl my love of maps and geography (see List 37).

Like: SFO's art exhibits. As much as Virgin America and Terminal 2 are the way to go, I always enjoy the long hallway to the United gates and the ever-changing exhibits there, like the current one featuring vintage televisions and TV show artifacts.
Discovery: Cotogana makes a non-alcoholic version of a Negroni, the, wait for it, n/a-groni. It is really lovely and perfect for lunch, since I work at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners in 2011, not at Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Pryce in 1965.
Obsession: Brussels Sprouts. While many people are haters, I adore them, and look forward to their coming into season every Fall. I usually roast them in the oven (sometimes with pancetta and thinly sliced lemon) at least once a week, but also look forward to having them out, like at Berkeley's Cesar or even stir-fried in place of the usual green beans at Kirin, our neighborhood Chinese joint.
Complaint: Why, exactly, did it take me 4 years to get around to watching David Fincher's Zodiac? No good answer to that, but I really dug this taut, gritty 1970s-set, 1970s-style film. Plus it was cool to see a representation of San Francisco in that era. (The freeway along the Embarcadero! Yowza.)
