ok, lets get some stuff in there for the new wife. you are getting here by new years's eve? you will need a party to go to. i am taking my gfriend to a new years gala at the SF symphony. i scored major points! dancing, drinks, getting dressed up... (i am sure some music that will make you wish your ears had a on/off switch). i actually hear that the crowd is very hip and young. how about a spa for two. i did OSMOSIS in the wine country. some touch-feely stuff that made me want out, but very relaxing. some kinda hot bath in decomposing sawdust. (they say enzymes, i say decomposing) and massages. forget nanking chinese food. way too touristy. do some dim-sum at hongkong flower lounge. really go ethinic! no sweet and sour pork there. and for the meat lover, HOUSE OF PRIME RIB! nuff said. all this stuff is available for research on the net. PM me and i can get my gfriend to send some links.

congrats, friend.
