This weekend I'm attending the San Francisco Writer's Conference. Why? Well, it's SAN FRANCISCO, one of the most romantic cities in the country and it started on VALENTINE"S DAY. My brain said take the hubby, go to the conference and have a romantic weekend for two. Unfortunately, the daughter ended up with a sporting event [...]
