San Francisco Chronicle Arts & Entertainment - Spoken Edition show

Summary: Last weekend, Brian, Aidan and I visited the SASBs in San Anselmo, all of us there to visit with Betty, her mom, who had flown in from Kansas.

Found the answer the following Wednesday, when I walked over to Civic Center Plaza to get avocado toast.
