I am not a saint

  • Guess who is cat sitting this adorable sweetie for three weeks. She made herself quite at home instantly. #elegance #siamese #kittysitting
  • Just one from tonight! It was so perfect. Thank you @nickcaveofficial and @thewarrenellis it was a magical night. #nickcavewarrenellis Thank you @gregoryadamson for flying all the way here to see this show with me. Best friends forever!
  • My day today involved a ton of walking! Breakfast @tartinemanufactory (I had the omelette) while @gregoryadamson had the divine french toast. Then a walk around Valencia Street, many stops! Lots of popping in and out of stores, and a stop @dandelionchocolate for hot chocolate with fresh marshmallows. A ferry ride across the bay to @squarepieguys in Oakland, then Bart home. So nice having a friend visit!
  • Shall we chat
  • Today in pictures: – seeing empty cable car getting ready for the day – coffee from @bluebottle – flower train @salesforcetower – home to look at toe beans Pretty good day 😀
  • Went to a celebration of life for my friend Pat today. He showed me such kindness and care. When I needed contracting work done for the building he was the man. But, more than that. He was kind, nice and could talk! A classic old school Californian with talk takes, and a love of shooting the shit. He constantly invited me to his place to see the ‘pirates cove’ he had built, with a treehouse, hot tub and multiple smokers and grills. RIP Pat!

“My heart is full My heart is wide The saddest songs are played On the strings of my heart” Harbour by Moby sung by Sinead O’Conner (on 18) Andreas and I must have listened to this album by Moby a million times, saw him twice or more and sung along. But, listening to it today […]

Happy Ï€ day! Such a weird thing to celebrate, people make fun of Valentine’s Day but then celebrate a number day with pie? weirdos So todays scary news is the Sarah Everard killing, by a cop in the UK. And the fact that almost all women relate to the judgement calls she made. Wearing sneakers […]

I wish when typing the date it said it in a Captain’s Log Voice as that is what it feels like. Almost a year of Shelter in Place, Stay At Home, Lockdown etc. Masks are normal, we all spend too much time on social media and I miss people. Today is also International Women’s Day […]

Poem

So I follow this artist Cocorrina whom I keep planning on buying a set of tarot cards from. But, she posted a lovely poem for today which I feel deep within my bones: The Yellow light of an opal   On the white-walled houses dies The roadway beyond my garden   It glimmers with golden eyes. Alone […]

I got tested today, for the first time! Isn’t that amazing? I had the antibodies test back in September I think, or later but no real worries about exposure. Last weeks flight back to SF was the first time I was scared I was exposed. I waited 6 days to get my test, so antibodies […]

Today is the first Monday of 2021, that means all healthy habits start today, all New Year Resolutions etc. What a burden to be a Monday you carry this heavy load. Practically rocks, and by Thursday it has fallen away. All the advice lately is make small changes, incremental that you can continue, what a […]

Sometimes sadness tastes like gummy bears, that sickly cloying taste that overwhelms you.

Well I made it through 2020, not how i thought i would either. I look back at 2020’s January 1st posting, and I am shocked how happy and carefree things feel, when in reality the virus was bearing down already. How could we know so little, be so connected and yet so disconnected? Hopes and […]

Death

So a distant friend, someone I know who I have not seen in a while, but still like and would hug when I see them died last week. Brian Dotson will be greatly missed, not just because he knew a million people or because he ran a nightclub in the 2000’s but rather because of […]

“PITY THE NATION” Lawrence Ferlinghetti(After Khalil Gibran) Pity the nation whose people are sheep And whose shepherds mislead them Pity the nation whose leaders are liars Whose sages are silenced And whose bigots haunt the airwaves Pity the nation that raises not its voice Except to praise conquerers And acclaim the bully as hero And […]

I am a racist – what a hard sentence to write out. I am not one consciously, but i have plenty of white privilege, I have lived an easy life, not constantly wondering if the police, security guards, military are going to find my life expendable. I try really hard not to judge people by […]

48 days and counting, almost 8 weeks. I have not learnt a new skill, mastered a new language, deep cleaned my apartment, gotten super fit etc. I have, cooked, eaten, slept, worked out and lived. Which is harder? People talk about grief and depression, I feel bad for them. I am sad, but not depressed, […]
