Shoe Shine
Got a shoe shine yesterday outside the Virgin Megastore. Today I have a client in twenty minutes. Last of the year.
Team Bear Beer Bust
We had a decent Saturday event, considering the other events: Bears, Bath, and Beyond at the Steamworks, and the Sing-a-long Sound of Music with the SF MovieBears at the Castro Theater. With beer bust sales, food, tips, and massage donations, we brought in $228. So far this year, I don’t the exact figured in front ...Read more.
Week In Review, RRR, Team Bear Beer Bust
Well, it’s been an interesting week, starting last Saturday with my family holiday party, followed by a party in the Dorothea Puente house. Puente, for those of you not following the link, is a convicted serial killer who murdered the elderly men on Social Security and disability who boarded with her, and pocketed their checks, ...Read more.
Polar Bear Weekend – Jan 15 – 19
Yes, that’s right; the folks at PrideWorks have brought back Polar Bear Weekend in Guerneville. With four days of fun events and an incredibly low price, this is going to be a great Martin Luther King weekend getaway. Highlights of the events include three-nights and four days lodging at one of seven resorts in the ...Read more.
Happy Holidays
I hope that you all are having a fantastic winter season, full of fun and joy! Current Mood: cold
Family Holiday Parties
I got in a zipcar and headed to Sacramento to my cousin Michele’s place in Orangevale. I hadn’t been to her annual family holiday gathering since 2002, which had been right after I had split up from Rick, and as Michele reminded me, I was in pretty bad shape back then. So it was nice ...Read more.
Chinese automaker launches ‘leccy lizzie • The Register
Chinese automaker launches ‘leccy lizzie • The Register. So while the sad state of the American automobile manufacturers continues to alarm us and decline, now even the Chinese car makers are getting into the hybrid car market. BYD Auto has apparently advanced enough to think that they can begin selling this F3DM plug-in hybrid ...Read more.
On Loving-Kindness and Atheism
Wandering downtown after my 18:30 client tonight, and as I was approaching the St. Francis to meet Jason getting off work at 21:00, three youngish men approached me. Two were white and one carrying a small box was black. The black guy was the leader and he greeted me, shaking hands with me and asking ...Read more.
Don’t Worry About Warren
Al Badger is right, as usual: He’s a homophobic bastard, and he’s giving the invocation. Ick. But look who’s giving the benediction. I think the symbolism is perfect – from the dead past to the living future. Obama’s invitation to Warren isn’t an endorsement, it’s something of a dismissal.
Hot on the Bus
Damn but he has a fine set of legs! Sadly, he escaped the bus before I captured them for you.
Frost/Nixon
Underbus thrown. Yesterday, I went and saw the movie Frost/Nixon, the Ron Howard docudrama that tells the story of the David Frost interview with Richard Nixon after he resigned the presidency. I didn’t really know what to expect, but I remember as a child remembering how much turmoil there was around the resignation; I remember ...Read more.
iPhone App Misremembrance
O Merciful Pie, help me remember the name of the iPhone App that starts with a B that does something interesting that I read about in someone else’s blog. Senility creeps in… Current Mood: crazy
