Sub-Zero: Team Be-cause Celebration Dinner
Here’s the email I sent out to the team’s Facebook group tonight: Thank you all for attending tonight! We had a great time, and when the final numbers are tallied, we will have broken $90,000! I am so incredibly proud of all of you for all you hard work and dedication to training and fund ...Read more.
Crusty on the Outside, Squishy on the Inside: Terminator Salvation
I went and saw Terminator Salvation yesterday, and geez, what a three-day-old dog turd: crusty and dry on the outside, but still moist and gross on the inside. Jason and I both agreed that the movie was a waste of time, but it was nice sitting next to him in a dark theater. I had ...Read more.
Bored, Friendly Cop
This was the police officer I stood before at the protest. He’s a likeable enough guy, and look! No wedding ring! LOL I should have taken more pics of hot cops (and there were tons of them) but I was too busy leading chanting and flirting with Officer Fegan.
Protesting the Protest
As angry as I am, or was, about the Supreme Court’s decision regarding Proposition 8, which when you read the decision is really more of a victory for us than not, but the pre-planned protest response to it? What a crock. Marriage Equality USA planned on blocking an intersection as a symbolic protest, but they ...Read more.
To Be of Use
The people I love the best jump into work head first without dallying in the shallows and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight. They seem to become natives of that element, the black sleek heads of seals bouncing like half-submerged balls. I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy ...Read more.
National Memorial Day Celebration on PBS
I was watching that TV show on PBS tonight, and the did a segment on an Iraq War veteran who had the left hemisphere of his brain blown off, leaving a giant wedge shape where the left half of his cranium should be. To the credit of the medical professionals of the armed forces and ...Read more.
Ghost In The Lava Light
I have a lava-light lightning bolt lamp on my computer desk, and I turn it on at night when I’m sitting here in my room. It’s random blue glow is soothing and provides just enough light. Did part one of a trade with my acupuncturist yesterday – she’ll work on me next week. After that, ...Read more.
Here Comes The Rain Again
It was time for a haircut, so I got out the clippers and buzzed my hair down, then off to work. On the bus ride downtown, I was trying to remember if I had left the blinds open on my south-facing windows, which would have been quite unmoist. Fortunately, I had kept them closed when ...Read more.
Such a Strange Night
Two two-hour sessions yesterday, and after the second one, I sat down to read the newest issue of Massage & Bodywork magazine and think about the idea of a masters degree in somatics. No such thing currently exists, but the idea is gaining currency. One of my clients is working on his PhD in clinical ...Read more.
Stuff To Do
Yesterday I got a text from Jason saying he was going to Target, and did I want to go with him. Sure, I replied, and showered and dressed. He picked me up and off we schlepped to Serramonte and Junipero Serra Boulevards in Daly City to the Target Greatland there. We wandered the aisles, picking ...Read more.
Police Action
BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG!!! Coming! BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG!!! Coming! Hold On! I opened the door to to find myself face to face with a young, very hot San Francisco Police Officer. “What’s your name?” Paul, what’s up? “Is there a Patrick that lives here?” He lives next door. Five SFPD officers standing on the steps of UGH, and then one ...Read more.
Fun Food Frolic Film
Whew, what a busy day! It all started out this morning, when I woke up and read for an hour, then got up, had some coffee, showered, dressed, gathered up the Team Be-cause donation bucket and donation bracelets and headed down to meet Joseph and Scott at Baja Fresh, for our fund raising event today. ...Read more.
