crank the heat up, really, DO
I’m a little cranky. Someone I know went away for 3 weeks and it was bugging me but instead of admitting it was bugging me I got grousy and weird tonight. But then the instant karma gave me an uppercut, jamming my contact lenses behind my left eye [lopez] in the middle of the show…

So last Saturday evening I rolled up to Petaluma just as the worst of the heat had passed. And spent the next 20 hours with the some of the finest people I know. Creative, so creative [what? musicians and crafters and authors and DJs dancers and healers? and i DO mean plural]. And funny. The…

Before I continue on my blahblah about this past weekend, I shall take a detour into discussing the Record Breaking Heat Wave Madness; since I don’t want to end the narrative on a downer note, let’s just git it out of the way. Was it hot? Law, yes. Jill has created in words a snapshot…

If I were to use a trendy and tired convention, I’d say this last weekend was quiltastic. There was no booksigning and lecture at the recently-reopened De Young Museum — perhaps our intrepid young miss hambox totally got some dates wrong.

I don’t watch American Idol, I don’t care about it, I get profoundly annoyed when people around me talk about it. Therefore I’m in full hypocrite mode now that Project Runway, Season 3 has begun. I watch, I care, and I happily chatter about it in the company of eye-rolling hatahs. Watching tonight’s premiere was…

Driving home on Sunday, slightly bummed that K&J’s BBQ was done and the fog was moving in. Heading down Telephone Road, so very unremarkable. But then the new Franti/Spearhead song Hello Bonjour came on the radio — so bouncy! — and all of a sudden, the visuals and the soundtrack meshed [the tempo of the…

This picture of young Miss K. reminds me of the hours, days, lifetimes that I spent in the pool, while growing up in Phoenix. Looking at K.’s face brings it all back.. the bliss of being tired, waterlogged, airdryed and looselimbed. I also remember being K.’s age [8], at the club in Phoenix with my…
