How does one define a city?
In the Bay Area, you have San Francisco, known for the Golden Gate Bridge, beautiful views, Alcatraz, Pier 39, etc..., Berkeley is known for its hippies and political movement, and again beautiful scenery...Oakland: gangs...San Jose, well, most critics have said that SJ has been struggling to find itself. Sure there is Silicon Valley, but what do tourists get?
A recent article in Metro Magazine named San Jose, or rather MAN Jose, the bachelor capital of the world. Apparently, men out number women 3-1 here, so it should be easy for women, right? Wrong. These men, as described in the article, are the fruits of Yahoo!, Google and Adobe. Not all computer geeks are bad, but I suppose if you are accosted by five men who spend fifteen hours a day in their cubicle staring at a computer and haven't seen a woman in months, that would seem a little disheartening to me.
I avoid the night scene myself. I haven't visited a "Sausage Bar" in San Jose and don't intend to. I like avoiding those lines like: "Hey, baby, let's play house. You can be the screen door, and I'll bang you all night long."
Gross.
I'm so thankful I have "Rick" by my side. I was lucky to find such a fella. :)

I am glad you have Ric too. By the way tell him hello for me and I am glad he loves my daughter.
Ah, Rick! To him the old bitch says hi.
