10 Practically Free Things to Do

I keep asking myself... Is this a blog about marketing (to promote my company,) or is it about filling the need to escape from work? Hmmm... The mental escape is 100% necessary in order to be creative and productive. So, I guess this is going to be some strange combination of both. If I actually have any readers, I do hope they won't complain!

It is going to be a hot day today, and it is the first really gorgeous weekend of "summer." It would be a great time to get away, but we just paid income taxes, property taxes, and my subs, so we're pretty broke. I'd like to clear some work off my desk, but I just can't seem to get my head around it. So...

10 Practically Free Things to Do in SF Bay Area:

• Head over to Half Moon Bay. Take advantage of the fog-free days.
• Drive to the top of Mt. Diablo. (You may actually have to pay to enter the park.)
• Visit the new EB Regional Park at the the Meyers' Estate. Dry Creek Regional Park. Hit Garin Park next.
• Go to Mt. Tamalpais (Never been there. This is still on my list of things to do before I die.)
• Watch the ocean and a beautiful sunset. Baker Beach, Lands End, Marin Headlands.
• Wine tasting in the Livermore Valley. (Closer, and less expensive than Napa.)
• Read something that has no redeeeming social value. (Just fun and/or enjoyable.)
• Walk around Lake Elizabeth. (Don't feed the geese.)
• Hang out on Main St. in Pleasanton.
• Walk across the Golden Gate Bridge.

I could go on and on...
