    To get that test you need to occasionally pass out in hotel lobbies and hallways after failing to get let in the team's rooms

    They don't even offer it in our VA hospital which is responsible for two of my risk factors not to mention numerous other ailments.

    I am part of the NBA Players/Staff study thru the Mayo Clinic.
    I'll be honest, do I want this to come out positive or negative?

    I think that the antibody test is pretty easy to get, if you're willing to pay. A lot of private labs will hook you up with an in-home test. Stick your finger, drip blood into a tube and mail it off to the lab.

    Of course, the results are pretty much useless due to false positives and negatives and the total uncertainty as to what level of antibodies confers protection, if any at all.

    You'd be really helping out the forum if you got Mrs HCP tested.

    You need to add the disclaimer that you also like just a little turkey sprinkled atop your big dollop of mayo!! Ya know, as a sanity check or to prove your objectivity (or lack thereof).

    I don't know why, exactly, but that sounds dirty.

    If/when you ever go back, the painted lady at the left end (On the corner) of the photo had (or did have) an apartment that was an AirBNB, including off street parking and a private entrance. BG and I stayed there in ‘11 on a Giants road trip. Wonderful place to stay and just up the hill from the Haight. Highly recommended assuming it is still available. Sure beat a SF hotel any day (unless it was the Mark of course). Hopefully all those places will bounce back big time when it’s safe.....

    Yeah, we do plan to go back. The excursion to SF, was part of a road trip my wife and I recently went on to Yosemite, Sequoias, San Fran, Cal Highway 1, the Redwoods, the Oregon coast, Bend, and Portland. One of the best trips we've ever been on. May even do that exact same thing in the coming years.

    I love, LOVE your AirBNB idea! Will definitely check that out. Thanks!

    I've been there three or four times and eaten at Fisherman's Wharf twice. Really sad to see it go.
    Sausilito was my favorite town in the bay area. If I were rich like you I think I'd live there and visit places like Fisherman's Wharf.
