Hump Day
Wednesday turned out to be a rather fun day for me. Somehow or other, my name had gotten on a distribution list inviting me to a “Private Wine Tasting Event” sponsored by Historic Hotels of America. It was from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. I’d RSVP’d in the affirmative a few weeks earlier. The day of, however, … Continue reading
Musical Mosaic
As you may have noticed, all kinds of music, with the exception of country, appeal to me. A month or so ago, I was at Yoshi’s to see Irie Love and CRSB perform. Irie Love, who hails from Hawaii, sings reggae. CRSB, Bay area guys with ties to Hawaii, sing more mainstream pop/hip hop kind … Continue reading
It’s The Kid…

Memorial Day
It’s 9:30 a.m. and I’m still in bed, deciding what to do today. Should I go see a movie? There’s not even that much out – “The Great Gatsby,” “Iron Man,” “Star Trek,” “The Fast and Furious” and “Hangover 3.” I’m slightly tempted to see “The Great Gatsby,” would have seen “Hangover 3” were it … Continue reading
San Francisco International Film Festival
Every year I’m a participant in several of the film festivals here in San Francisco – the International Film Festival, the French Film Festival, the Italian Film Festival and occasionally the Taiwan Film Festival. My favorite, by far, is always the International Film Festival. This year I bought tickets to four films – “Key to … Continue reading
