On Wednesday, San Francisco City Hall hosted a special celebration as hundreds of former employees gathered to mark the 90th birthday of their one-time boss, legendary former SF mayor Willie Brown.
Brown is an old school political wheeler-dealer – energetic, articulate, powerful, dapper, and with the most unmistakable laugh.Whether he's playing Boss Dice from the prized window seat at Le Central, holding court at John's Grill -- one of the oldest restaurants in the city -- or being serenaded by the Irish Newsboys at Chief Sullivan's Irish pub in North Beach, Willie Brown is a force of nature: unstoppable and unforgettable.
Goodrich asked Brown how he has maintained his good health and whether he followed a routine.'I have always been very careful at the level of consumption on the food side, on the booze side,' he said. 'I try to get an adequate amount of rest. But above all else, I try to end the day without one issue still troubling me.'There is one thing that Brown will not do.'I will not text! Under no circumstance,' he asserted.
