Our blog chronicles the lives of two thirty-somethings living and loving in Oakland. We talk a lot about food, wine, travel and our house - a 1916 Craftsman in a part of town that was once described as "up and coming."

Authors: Becky Caudill

Authors: Becky Caudill

GOING GRAY

Authors: Becky Caudill

Alan is starting to go gray. I don't mind. I actually think men with gray hair is kind of sexy.
Especially this one:

SOCIAL MEDIA ISN'T SO SOCIAL SOMETIMES

Authors: Becky Caudill

So ... I deleted my Facebook account today.

 

That probably seems pretty counter-intuitive to most people I know, especially those that are using social media to help build their own personal brand, or promote their blogs, or engage in "the conversation." But for me, none of those reasons mattered. Or at least not anymore.
