It seems fitting that I would commemorate 500 posts here at ‘Coffee & Chiffon’ from the comforts of a loft overlooking downtown San Diego and the Bay, watching the sun rise and the city come to life minute by minute.

The days leading up to an extended trip (and for me, that means longer than a weekend) are always hectic.
