Season’s End

The Sausalito Tourist Season is winding down for this year. It was nothing if not a curious one. It was like a roller coaster saleswise. From the highest one day to the lowest the next. In the end, averaging out to be the same as last year.

This morning I was reminded of how fortunate I am to have located in Sausalito. When I was selecting a site, I had my heart set on a charming space in San Anselmo. I had signed a lease and paid a deposit. Four days later, when I called the agent he said they decided to lease to someone else. I was outraged but it turned out definitely in my best interest. After two floods and a depressed economy, my uninformed decision to try Sausalito turned out to be brilliant. I love it here, both as a place to live and a place to

work. Although we’ve been affected by the current economic climate it hasn’t been nearly to the degree of our neighbors. It will definitely be interesting to see where we go from here. In the meantime I’m going to spend the winter organizing my new storage space and planning for next year.
