MUNI Took My Money!!!
Back at the start of October, as I rushed down to the Tenderloin to pick up some authentic banh mi for my bosses & a few other people in the office, MUNI had their transportation officers all over the place. As I descended the bus in the Tenderloin, they asked to check my Fast Pass. … Continue reading
Oinkeroo Rides Again
So there’s this Italian waiter at an Italian restaurant that’s my friend on Facebook. He sent me a message telling me about this 4-course prix fixe Italian dinner with wine pairing at Ristorante Milano for $85, including the wine! Casatellani Winery out of Pisa, Italy would be introducing their wines with each of the courses. … Continue reading
Bonne Annee, Buon Anno and Happy New Year!
On New Year’s Day, it seems that everyone reflects on the past year. Mine was a so-so year. 2013 brought someone back into my life, which was the high point for me. My travels – Paris, Hawaii (twice), Vietnam and Santa Fe – were all good, but I actually enjoyed the trips to Hawaii the … Continue reading
Still On That Vietnamese Kick
My favorite analyst in the office, A., has been on a banh mi kick for months; he eats them 2 to 3 times per week! That boy has consumed more banh mi in the past several months than I have in my entire life! As for me, I’m still trying to explore new Vietnamese dishes. … Continue reading
I Must Be a Masochist
As you know, I quit with that on-line dating crap as of April. However, my profile is still on the website and guys frequently send me messages. I check them every so often and reply to them once in a blue moon. With the holidays approaching, single men must be feeling particularly lonely and desperate. … Continue reading
Frankly, Scarlett, I Don’t Give A Damn…
that it’s Musical Monday. I’ve got no thoughts/links/suggestions/whatever. My mind is blank. (Not really; I just don’t want to share anything with you at this time.) All I can say is that this is the song that’s been going through my head for about a month now, so I’ll share it with you and maybe … Continue reading

SantaCon is Coming to Town
Actually, SantaCon is already here all day and well into the night. Every second weekend in December, SantaCon seems to take place on Saturday in major cities across the U.S. and other places in the world. Basically, everyone dresses up as Santa Claus or some other Christmas-themed character and goes out to make revelry in … Continue reading
Payback
The boys apparently had quite an evening of drinking at the holiday dinner last night ’cause M. didn’t crawl in until after 10:00 a.m. and A. followed shortly thereafter. “Someone” in the office told me that M. had actually left the dinner or ensuing bar early to “help a friend.” Some girl allegedly sent him … Continue reading
Bah! Humbug!
The holiday season has been here for awhile, but my holiday spirit disappeared about 10 years ago. When I lived in L.A., Christmas was my favorite holiday. I loved shopping, wrapping the presents, selecting and mailing the cards, decorating the tree, listening to Christmas music and watching other’s open their presents. The tree had to … Continue reading
