And Now For Musical Monday

Friday night I went to see Kermit Ruffins at Brick and Mortar.  He’s a trumpet player from New Orleans, who’s hot at the moment because he’s a regular on the HBO series “Treme.”  I had a ticket to see him in New Orleans at One Eyed Jacks, but missed his performance (long story, which I … Continue reading »

The Effects of Dying Electronics

Last Tuesday I noticed that my beloved Android didn’t seem to be charging for very long.  My room is littered with chargers and adaptors from previous cell phones and other electronics.  I’d already “killed” several of them.  Rather than drag it out, I high tailed it down to Staples on my lunch break on Wednesday … Continue reading »

Adios, Santa Fe

Monday dawned bright and early in Santa Fe.  Well, maybe it wasn’t so much early.  I usually wake up between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. during the week in San Francisco, so it was already 8:00 a.m. in Santa Fe, due to the one hour time difference.  Bright still applies, though, if only because there … Continue reading »

Back in Cold, Gray San Francisco

I’ll keep thoughts of Santa Fe for awhile longer, though, especially with some more Ottmar Liebert for Musical Monday! “Santa Fe” – Ottmar Liebert With that, here are a few more parting shots:

The End Is Near

Today was the second (and final) day of Indian Market.  Now the flurry of Indian Market will end and 50,000 or more people will leave town, but there are still myriad opportunities to spend money on very unique Native American Indian products on any given day! I maintained slightly better today than yesterday.  My main … Continue reading »

A Few Pictures of My Casita

As stated above, here are a few pictures of my little casita’s very Santa Fe style.

A Teaser For Now

The morning started off interestingly yesterday.  I arrived at the casita, found some keys in the garden area and went in.  Strangely, it didn’t look like the photos he’d posted, but I quickly changed, left my things and ran off to explore Santa Fe.  When I returned about 4 hours later, the front gate was … Continue reading »

Musical Monday Makes Up For It

Due to my disappointment the other night, I’ll allow Harry to make it up to me with this video.  This still has me fiending for New Orleans.  I long to be there again on a sultry summer night in a crowded bar listening to some phenomenal live music while the scent of magnolias lingers in … Continue reading »

I Have A Dream

Bucket list.  When did you first hear that term and what does it refer to?  Apparently, the term refers to a number of things one hopes to accomplish before they “kick the bucket.”  My first memory of hearing it must have been about ten years ago. I’ve never compiled an official bucket list, but I … Continue reading »

Checking Things Off

There are 3, actually 4, more trips for me coming up before the end of the year.  The upcoming one next week will be Santa Fe, the longest one will be Vietnam, the one I’m most excited about is Hawaii and then there’s that little jaunt to Las Vegas just because. Santa Fe is, for … Continue reading »
