  • P.S.

    I don’t really hate San Francisco. And I am feeling better just knowing I can go to sleep soon. I was reminded that I get this way every time I travel. I don’t deal well with flying. I haven’t in a few years. Thanks for the email and the phone calls. Oh, and Andrea, thanks…

  • I hate you, San Francisco. (Only not really.)

    It’s happening again. It seems I’m having anxiety attack after panic attack after fear attack after lie in bed and sweat and freak out attack. Why does this happen to me? Is it because I’m flying back east on Thursday? Is it because once that’s over, I have to come back here? Is it because…

  • Know

    Today, I had a conversation with a man at the bagel shop on 24th street in Noe Valley. I was in line waiting for the lady to complete my bagel. I ordered an everything bagel, not toasted, with Swiss cheese, lettuce, and mustard. This has nothing to do with the story, but I figured I’d…

  • Opener Water: Only Without the Sharks and WIthout the Water

    Lately, Toby and I have had spike in mosquito bites. It seems every morning there are more and more bumps. And they itch. They itch like nothing I have ever experienced before. Every day we wake up with new ones. Last week, Toby had three on his eyelid. This week I have several on my…

  • Sea Lions and Skateboarding

    For years now I have heard people talk about the Sea Lions of San Francisco. I have heard this talk so often, I still think that the Giants are misnamed especially since some football team in New York already has it. I would have thought the San Francisco Sea Lions would have been a much…

  • 46 Pictures That Won't Change Your Life

    but they’ll make you glad you’re not in prison. They might make you wish you were driving south along Route 1 instead of sitting in front of a computer. This weekend we visited Alcatraz… and Monterey… and a few places between the two. I took some pictures, actually I took over a 100 pictures. Today,…

  • Who's Hot For Teacher?

    Tomorrow I have a meeting with the San Francisco State University about a Graphic Design Instructor gig. Someone just sent me the proposed syllabus. That’s a good sign, right? I am so totally pleased by this. Drinks tomorrow night will surely be on me.

  • Blowing Hot Glass

    Yesterday, after receiving excellent news from Toby, I decided that it might be a good time to have him treat me to a course at San Francisco State University. So I made a few phone calls and I await to hear if I’m to be accepted into this course. I have wanted to take glass…

  • A Non-virgin's Megastore: Wanna Share?

    The other day Toby and I watched Love Actually. And quite honestly, I actually I loved it. If you’ve seen it, you already know it falls in around a song called “Love Is All Around” only it’s all about Christmas and not love. So if you really love Christ—mas. Come on and let is snow.…

  • A Sweet Saturday Morning: Writing From Home

    (This is a drawing hanging up in the hallway of the house we rent from). Later today, we’re heading to the Atlas Cafe to see Bob and Cass play their cello’s. Bob and Cass are our neighbors. Both of them are pretty great. And Bob (also a designer-type person) quits jobs like I do. Misery…
