My wife will be at a conference all week; I'll be visiting for a couple of those days while my parents watch our kids back in San Diego. I basically have two 7 hour chunks to fill.<p>I have two thoughts:<p>-- the more intriguing idea I was toying with was to offer to meet with anyone exploring medical, military, disaster response, educational, or parenting start-ups. Not that I'm awesome, or have any money, just a 35 year-old, married-with-kids, military doctor who happens to have some years of experience in each of those fields and will be the Bay area with nothing to do for a couple days and would love to meet some of you. I also worked on the team behind a content management system for medical schools after Hurricane Katrina (tmedweb.tulane.edu), and have done some design consulting/hacking work/interning (nic.org, edwardtufte.com).<p>-- the backup plan is that I would like to simply get the lay of the land downtown, the Valley, and, maybe, Sonoma, maybe scout out the universities my kids might be applying to later. This is a very easy, low-risk way to fill the time. Here's a tentative collection of destinations: http://goo.gl/3DXqs. If you would like to suggest something, I would love to hear it.
