Happy friday, april 24 and lets check with Steve Paulson and i heard you say a little change in the weather back and forth the next few days. I would say the next couple of weeks, it will warm up and cool down and then warmup and cooldown going to early may. Today will be one of the warmest days although yesterday it is tough to be 89 for a sum locations but highpressure is a fair weather friend and sfos is mostly cloudy with that is deceiving, they are up a 20,000 feet and will not last long i went upper 80s but again it is almost impossible to try to nail some of these when temperatures are that warm because 50s at the start 57 and santa rosa and san jose but were running cooler for areas that are usually pretty warm and we were yesterday like in fairfield and concord. But the High Pressure is still owing to be large and in charge which will equal temperatures well above average and even the coastal bay will get in on this, santa rosa at 88 and livermore at 86. All right Sal Castaned
The water temperatures are realy cold. Santa rosa is 60. The north wind and if that holds, we go to 90s. Most locations are in the upper 80 razment theres northwest and then a 37 in big rock. Thats northwest of 35 at middle peak and then theres a pretty good breeze in place and temperatures up they go. Everyone is above average including San Francisco to 88 in santa rosa. Lets head over to sal now and see if theres anything on our friday. Youre spot on about people going faster. I have seen that, sal. Now that you have mentioned it, i notice it more. Yeah, cannot drive in the fast line because someone will always be tailgating you. Youre right. Be careful out there. I want to show you something here when it comes to the construction work in San Francisco. As you know theyre doing the maize project and turning down the over pass. They have had to close the freeway lanes to do this. The traffic is light. Thats why theyre doing this. This is 101 in San Francisco near the 280 interchange.
In 2017 i wrote a story for the new york city about what happened to my exhusband peter and it was called the lawyer, the addict, and so i did a lot of research for that piece. I did a years worth of research in thinking about it and exploring it with my family and my children and if it was okay with them to go ahead and tell the world the story and figure out why we were doing it and what it meant to us and all of it was largely to make some kind of meaning out of something that felt almost arbitrary and shameful and felt guilty about and also to try to understand what was going on for peter and understand what was going on in the Legal Profession in terms Substance Abuse and depression and anxiety. After that came out, it surprisingly had a viral life and had millions of shares and i got a lot of feedback from readers like Young Lawyers who say i am worried who will wind up like your exhusband, depression, anxiety, also using lots of substances. I also at that point started thinking
Work it must have been you uncovered extremely painful parts of your past so tell me more about your writing process when and how you decided to go about writing the book. This started even before the book. 2017 i wrote a story that was call beware of the addict so a lot of the research for that piece and exploring it with my family and children to see if it was okay with them and figure out why we were doing it and what it meant to us. To make meaning out of something that was arbitrary and shameful but also to understand what was going on in the legal professio profession. After that came out, it surprisingly had a viral life and i got a lot of feedback from readers especially Young Lawyers who said now im worried i will end up with my exhusband who was facing depression and anxiety. So then at that point i had started to think about a memoir so i feel my process started before and then i think another eight or nine months talk about high Addiction Centers and people that i met on th
