So, I thought that creating “Weekend Friends” would be a great idea for women like me living in the …

So I'm sitting in this three-day, 13-hour-a-day Landmark Education self-improvement seminar in San Francisco, and all I could think about was escaping through one of the (hermetically sealed) windows and making a dash for Nob Hill, the only thing resembling a steep incline in the area. It was during the dinner break during the final day of the seminar that I conspired with Paul Schutzman and Mai-Ling Garcia -- two of the very cool people with whom I'd made a connection during our three days of c …
