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
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 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?

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
