This is not the restaurant I spoke of. But it's in the general area. I was bummed to find that large blocks are missing from my digital files; either I relied on C to take pics (which she did, and which I must beg her for copies of) or I used my Camera, not my... Continue Reading →
In the tub
You may have noticed, dear reader, that I enjoy baths. In fact, I adore them. I wouldn't call them a necessity; I have lived in at least three locations with shower-only bathrooms, and while I cannot for the life of me understand why they even make such a thing, I can easily live through the...

In the place for writing
Well, it's officially no longer Halloween. The decorations came down yesterday, so I guess I should knock the blog post down a spot or two. I'm just so reluctant to see it go!

And, after a brief moment of terror 1/2 way through this year's NaNo book ("What do you mean, that sounds just like a... Continue Reading →

I started out this morning all excited and inspired, thanks to the San Francisco Awesome (they say the A is... Continue Reading →
Bay Bridge
Sometimes when I'm not writing, it's your fault. I had an epiphany a mild thought while on the Bay Bridge. I was in the Fastrak lane, watching everyone go zooming by me on every side. I knew precisely why I was going so slow, but I refused, on general principle, to do anything about it.... Continue Reading →
