| have something to do with the climate, the | | | | have ever happened in my life, were not |
| beautiful Golden Gate Bridge, the many | | | | planned, they were spur of the moment |
| beaches around that are great for talking | | | | gestures that touched me far more than any |
| long walks at sunset or the many parks in the | | | | contrived venture ever could.Take your loved |
