old and new, silver and gold, etc!
No year in review here, boy. If there’s anyone who has no need to review 2011, it’s the Post a Day bunch! We’ve been reviewing our year, realtime, ad nauseam! Instead, I shall show you a picture. When I moved to Ventura the first time, I came from San Francisco after living there for 14…

It’s the Fourth Fifth Friday Challenge for December. My friend Paul and I, both posting daily in 2011, decided to give each other a job once a month to keep things spicy. In his words, “we want to push ourselves to do something more interesting than we might otherwise.” And here is his challenge to…

Today seems to be about coddling my horribly out-of-whack neck, oh lord, something is very wrong. Mix that with a broken dryer, broken screen door, and the effects of…

[link] Santa, all I want is for you to bring a remedy for this chronic crick in my neck, some goodwill, a Sense of Perspective on The Whole Thing, and slippers. Stolen from my friend Brittany’s Facebook wall. Sorry I don’t know the genius who created it! Get out of my mind, self!

I received word that my friend Phil Guilbeau died. He was a goodie, and I sure am sad. Soon after meeting him in San Francisco several million years ago, I insisted we become friends. He was irresistible to me. Personally, he was handsome, charming, softspoken, gay, and southern. His films, however, told another story —…
