Random Thursday
Today is my late day at work. Arrive at 11, go home at 7. I don’t mind putzing around in the morning, except on Thursday, the only day I can really sleep in, is the only day our complex brings the yard maintenance guys in at 7:30 in the morning. So I’ve been up; listening…

Shit Shine
Today, I won the shit shine award for many backlogged shit shines. Sometimes at work we get pictures of feet or fingernails or hip replacements or car bows and we have to design the shit out of it and make it magical. I have been designing shit for most of my career so far and…

In and out
Yesterday, I made this fig, olive oil, sea salt challah bread. This was my first bread-making and other than some dough stretched a little too thin, I’m pretty proud of myself. It’s been raining for three days and the clouds are colliding. Pat and I listened to music all day yesterday and I cleaned our…

I am a hero
Today is a beautiful morning. 80s the rest of the week and sunshine. The weather man last night laughed and said there was zero change of rain hitting the valley and Pat and I might hit the pool and work on our winter glow tomorrow. I’m usually ghostly pale at this point in the season,…

This is right
You know what I heard a lot last night: that if the republican party doesn’t change it’s core beliefs it’s going to die. And I believe that with my whole heart. I believe they are dying and as all the old white men make way for me and Pat and his sisters and our gay…

Go vote! But only if you're voting for Obama
Damn, I’m all wired. I voted. I got my sticker. I left the polling place with a woman behind me cheering for Obama and I raised my hand up and pointed to the words leaving her mouth like a jet lifting into the sky. “YEAH, SHE KNOWS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!” she yelled again. This…

"Don't forget my senior discount. I'm older than I look"
God it smells good this morning. It’s cool and sprinkling and I’m getting a small cold, but even through the snot the eucalyptus and sage brush and dirt was suddenly lifted as the heat lifted and for a small second I was reminded of the empty desert, not the city desert. And then I got…
