     EXPENSES: Food, phone - pay for anything you use, please.
 EXPECTATIONS: Be nice to my furniture, and never
               eat the last breakfast muffin before I wake up.
               Oh yes. Cigarette smoke.
               Hate it, don't want it or its memory ever in my house.
    LANGUAGES: English, French (mediocre; speak slowly, no philosophy)
     THE HOST: Professional, college, born and raised in the U.S. but
               a stranger to McDonald's, mediocre dresser;
               I feel like I'm advertising for a date, here.
               Interested in museums, folk music, film, streetside
               cafes, bicycling, motorcycling, rollerblading,
               martial arts and whatever else I can think of.
        OTHER: The house is located in densely populated suburbia.
               It's pretty quiet, but I do have an awful lot of
               neighbours. It's a 15-minute walk to a decent little
               downtown with some nice cafes, a brewpub, several
               restaurants and some good bookstores. From there, a
               slow and noisy train runs about once an hour until
               about midnight to and from San Francisco. It's an hour
               away by train; 45 minutes by car with luck.
