A Return to the Mission
We’ve already established that the Mission is not one of my favorite areas of town. It’s grungy, the smell of urine is everywhere, people sit on the sidewalks selling all kinds of miscellaneous crap, many of the stores sell used crap, everything looks old and falling apart, there’s no parking and that’s just for starters. … Continue reading
Good Friday
Our office is in the midst of this ridunculous renovation, which caused us to vacate half of the office and be stuffed into smaller quarters on the other side of the office until the original side is finished. We were ousted at the end of June, but were scheduled to be returned to our original … Continue reading
Ahhh, Yes…
it’s Musical Monday. My apologies, but you’re just gonna’ have to deal with a band that you’ve heard before on here.

9/11 Soliloquy on 9/12
I nearly forgot that yesterday was 9/11. My mind was consumed with thoughts of yesterday’s Wine Tasting Event and the Earth, Wind & Fire concert rather than the terrorist attack in New York. The morning of 9/11 is clearly etched into my memory. I’d taken my shower and was sitting on the edge of the … Continue reading
You Know What Day It Is
Ahhh… Monday always comes too soon, no matter how long the weekend was. The weather was actually warm in San Francisco all weekend and is supposed to continue through the next week. Today’s predicted high of 78 was way off, however; felt more like 66. Naturally, right now, it’s cold, gray and windy out at … Continue reading
