Not Rain Nor Sleet Nor Snow
While rummaging around in my room last night, I came across a box of “love-influenced” postcards. Some of them are downright mushy, but others are cute. I chose one of the cute ones, dashed off a short message on the back and mailed it at the post office this morning. How long has it been … Continue reading
Time On My Hands
Are you on partial lockdown, total lockdown and/or shelter in place due to the Coronavirus pandemic? We in San Francisco are on partial lockdown and shelter in place, official as of midnight a week ago, March 17th. Apparently, this means that we’re not to leave our abode other than to buy groceries, medicine or other … Continue reading
Hold On To Your Hats, Kids!
I’m ostensibly back. I won’t promise anything just yet as to if I can keep this up, but I’ll give it my best try. There’s been a bit of emotional trauma going on which has taken me time to deal with. In other news, I’m semi-retired. My boss, who I worked with for 20+ years, … Continue reading
M.I.A.

Then I was dealing with two new male roommates moving in. That went smoothly and, although it’s only been … Continue reading
Second Day at Treasure Island
Our second day at Treasure Island has come to an end. Actually, we ended it by going for drinks at Panta Rei in North Beach! Today was even windier than yesterday, which was quite annoying. The views were still great, the food trucks were better than most, but people don’t really spend money there. Everyone … Continue reading

Most of my negatives are stockpiled in shoeboxes in the top of my hallway closet and there’s absolutely nothing at the moment that … Continue reading
A Helping Hand
For some reason, people constantly ask me for money. Is it because, for the most part, I seemingly have my life in order? Is it because I tend to travel a lot? The reason I’m not destitute is because I don’t live WILDLY beyond my means. I shop at CostCo, Target and Trader Joe’s for … Continue reading
Dirty Business
I’ve got four things on my “Dirty Business” list. These are the things that I don’t look forward to doing, but they need to be done for my mental and emotional well-being. Dirty Business Number One is to give my roommate his 30 Day Notice. He won’t be happy. In fact, I think he’ll try … Continue reading
