Why Am I Awake So Early?
Considering that I got back from the gym at 12:15 a.m. this morning and didn’t make it to bed for another half an hour after that, waking up at 7:30 a.m. on a holiday weekend is surprising. I certainly epitomized Labor Day weekend thus far – did 4 loads of laundry, hand washed about 9 … 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
Vive La France!
For Bastille Day Weekend, I decided to do something French-themed every day/night. On Friday, I went to the Grand Opening of Muka over by Davies Symphony Hall. The owner, Jean-Luc, is a former bartender at my favorite neighborhood French wine bar, Amelie. He opened his own place, Moussy’s Cafe, in L’Alliance Francaise, which recently relocated … Continue reading
Post 4th of July
All things considered, my 4th of July wasn’t bad. I started the day by meeting my friend and her daughter at AMC Theaters to see the matinee of “Despicable Me 2.” I’m not usually a huge fan of animated movies, but the original “Despicable Me” was my favorite. Although this one was cute, the original … Continue reading
Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Lemonade
Although I would still LOVE the chance to live abroad, I am proud to be an AMERICAN, enjoying the many freedoms that we have!!! Happy Independence Day!!!
Trial and Error Travel
There’s a bit of a lull before my next trip. It’s not even the end of June and I’ll be “stationary” in San Francisco until mid-August. On August 16th, I’ll fly to Albuquerque, New Mexico, then take a shuttle to Santa Fe to be there the weekend of Indian Market. A couple of people had … Continue reading
A Little Kiss of Paradise
Since my next trip is to Hawaii, I wanted to relate a little story to you. Several years ago, when I’d just started a new job, I decided to go to Hawaii. For one reason, it was because it was over a holiday. For the second reason, once my mind is made up, nothing can … Continue reading
