New Look

Trying out a some new looks. Time for a change...

The blog thing is tough. Not sure how you guys who create such entertaining content have the time to do it. I spend way more time consuming blog content than creating it because, quite frankly, I find what other people have to say more interesting than what I'm thinking... but I'm not giving up just yet. I'm going to pull up some of my old posts that I want to keep and try to get moving in a new direction here. Life in the Castro is fun. More to come on that later...

I'm back....

This blog is not dead.

I've been crazy busy but an update is pending...

Thank you to that one person who keeps checking in to see an update.

Even though the blogosphere is taking a terrible beating in the world of twitter, it's not dead yet.

Offline for a while...

...I have a quick trip out of the country and a full schedule upon return.

The link list on the left is always a good starting place for great entertainment.

King Tut

Hit the King Tut Exhibit at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. This museum is cool. The building is wrapped in copper, so each time you visit the building color itself should be a slightly different shade. The exhibit was good, although you don't see so much of King Tut himself as you see his stuff...the actual boy king and his sarcophagus seem to be touring another museum circuit, but it was a good collection of items and even better if you can score a free pass.

The museum has a special talent for merchandizing, so if you can get in and out without buying any coffee mugs or coaster sets, you'll be in good shape. The observation deck is especially cool, and if you can hit on a sunny day, it's even better.

More time struggles

Gosh my poor blog doesn't stand a chance.

I try to find a spot of free time here and there to post my ponderings, thoughts and amusing (to me) stories, but time zooms by so quickly. Where does the time go?

I do check in on my faves when I can and folks seem to be able to keep their blogs fresh, but I seem to find it really tough to do so.

I'm behind on a lot of pet projects from the move, so maybe by the time the rainy season hits I'll have some interesting items to share (and the time to share them).

Wait, didn't I publish a post on Time Management? Maybe I should be reading my own blog posts.

In the meantime, here's a photo of bridge fog from last weekend....

Happy 4th!

Errands all day. Can't believe how much there is to do when moving
to a new place. Honestly, I deserve my own parking space at IKEA. The car
just knows at this point where to go when I hop in it. One more, no, two
more trips over that infernal bay bridge to get another hand full of bolts and
clips and holders and such.

But in fun news, rooftop fun with Jon & pals to see fireworks.

It never fails. For Pride Weekend, the weather in SF is always sunny and warm, but for the
4th, the fog rolls in and the fireworks blast directly into that mysterious
floating mass of mist, and we end up with flashing pink clouds. Every year.

This year as a little better than some before it. We actually saw a few explode before
entering the fog, so the wine and rooftop company were lots of fun

Happy 4th to all...

Weekend Update

The 'Hood is about to get really interesting...

Our first full weekend in The Castro and it's Pride Week.
...the Pink Triangle has gone up on Twin Peaks
...rainbow flags all over the city
...parties all over town on Friday Night
...block party in the Castro on Saturday Night
...Pride Parade down on Market Street on Sunday.

Barricades on the side walks so they can turn the streets into a giant neighborhood disco.
Plus, it's going to be 70+ degrees, so you know everyone will have their shirts off.
...although, here I sit still surrounded by unpacked boxes.
Work on the move is still underway, so I do have my chores,
but that said, the atmosphere in the hood is still very cool...
