On The Road With Sun And Snow.

Greetings from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Earth. First — the review of the opera and the seats. For the first one-act opera , Bluebeard, we sat in the replacement seats — the next to the last row of the first teir — and soooo much better than sitting in orchestra center and having to step […]

Of Opera And Dinner.

That snow I mentioned yesterday? More like falling slush. By the afternoon the sun was out and the birds were chirping, and Raf was nowhere in sight having broken his 4×4 in a puddle that was bigger than expected.

TGIF WTF.

Who would think it’s hard to write about Friday. What a stunning glorious day — too bad Raf is out playing in the mud with his 4×4 instead of scrapping and caulking… he says he’s coming tomorrow — when it’s supposed to snow. Silly boy. Who wants to be on the ladder in the snow. […]

Safeway Savings.

I am a meat whore. Yes, I love my chicken, pork, kangaroo, buffalo, beef, snake, you name it. I’m also a Safeway Clearance section whore. Today’s take on all this wonderful organic cyrovac’d beef — 50% off, and the stuff freezes well — not that there is any room left in my freezer being the […]

Around The Bay In Five Hours.

Fourteen possible office locations scattered around the bay in five hours and 137 miles. Man traffic is a mess in downtown San Francisco — even on a Sunday afternoon! Here is a sample of the video clips that I made of each location. This is the first one I looked at in San Francisco (on […]
