San Francisco

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.  You see, I went to see One-A-Chord, Maoli and Jordan T. at the Elbo Room on Friday night.  We already know that the Mission is far from being my favorite area of San Francisco. … Continue reading »

Fruits of My Labor

A month or so ago, I decided to sign up for an on-line photography course; one that’s meant to change your perspective of what you photograph and how you photograph by giving you weekly “prompts.” Week One has inspired me to take the following:

Slight Regret

The other night on my way to the gym, a seemingly homeless, but relatively young guy asked me for money because he was hungry.  I apologized, but told him that I only carry keys and my cell phone when I go to the gym.  What would I need money for at the gym?  I don’t … Continue reading »

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 »

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 »

Identity Crisis

A friend wrote on FB today that the daughter of his Filipino girlfriend had been wanting a Barbie doll.  When he went to buy one for her, he was faced with a wall of “blonde perfection.”  Not wanting to perpetuate the myth that blonde (i.e. white) is better, he chose a brunette Barbie for her. … Continue reading »

Dessert Dealer

More than a year ago, I got my main boss and a few other people addicted to cupcakes from a cupcake “truck” called CupKates.  I would often see the CupKates truck on my lunch break when I was walking up/down California Street.  When I bought one for myself, I occasionally bought one for my boss … Continue reading »

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 »

Don’t Look Back

I’m a person who lives in the past a lot.  By that, there are parts of the past which I remember fondly and wish that had never ended. So I just realized yesterday that 17 years ago this weekend, Labor Day Weekend, was my move to San Francisco from L.A.  Rather, my company moved me … Continue reading »
