Our California

Fri, 27 Aug 2004 05:17:50 GMT

Denise Howell: Derek Powazek was on the radio yesterday, and I happened to catch the show. The book being flogged, My California, looks very worthwhile: a collection of unconventional essays about the Golden State, all donated by the authors, and with all proceeds going to the California Arts Council.

Golden Sunshine

Wed, 20 Nov 2002 03:46:09 GMT

Thanks to my friend, Dana Kay, this afternoon I got out in the sunshine for a while. We went to the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, where we had a picnic on the lawn before perusing the paintings and sculpture inside. BTW, Tuesdays are free thanks to FMC — though you do have to put up with hoards of art students busily sketching... Afterwards we drove around the Presidio where I snagged a couple of pictures. It was a beautiful day!

Pictures of World Series Game 5

Sat, 26 Oct 2002 18:44:09 GMT

Jake Savin: Here are my pictures from World Series Game 5. They're not very comprehensive I'm afraid, since I was pretty well caught up in the action, but the later scoreboard shots should serve as good inspiration for Game 6: 6-4, 10-4, 12-4, 16-4... Awesome... Go Giants!

Here are my pictures of World Series Game 5. Thanks again, Jake!

Wolfback Ridge, Sausalito, CA

Sat, 08 Jun 2002 00:44:23 GMT

We've had absolutely beautiful weather the past few days in San Francisco and thanks to my friend, Dana Kay, I was able to get out and enjoy some of it. Wednesday I took my bike over to Sausalito. We took Dana's sheltie, Chelsea, for a walk, then went for a short cruise on her trawler, Kaleidoscope, and finished the day with a short bike ride around Sausalito's many marinas. Yesterday we went for a much longer ride from Sausalito to Mill Valley. This has to be one of the greatest bike rides anywhere — beautiful scenery and virtually flat terrain. Thanks, Dana Kay!

I crossed the Golden Gate Bridge this afternoon. I noticed a CHiPs car sitting on the side of the road at the north end of the bridge, which is fairly common. I also saw the big white trucks they use to push disabled vehicles out of the way. As we drove through the toll gate I saw a couple of TV news vans with their microwave antennae jutting up. I thought to myself, they're doing a story about the terrorist threat to the bridge. When I got home I saw that it was true.
