exhausting and wonderful


 A fun tour de force for four talented actors at San Francisco Playhouse yesterday afternoon. The 39 Steps is this decades old adventure book/movie/play with lots of great Hitchcock touches in this fast-paced production full of laughter and suspense. See it!

Paddy Party = success!




 Everyone had a great time yesterday, even the hostess. Especially the hostess? The guests pitched in to help with EVERYTHING and you can see Doug carving the brisket in the top photo. Neti was a huge help with last minute chopping and warming. Sorry the photos don't do this justice, but we all had a super fun day. And this year I hired two young women to come in and clean and do all those dishes, so that was very expensive and VERY smart. Yay!

waiting, waiting...



 Annabelle, being a female, is nothing if not persistent. Then we have the corned beef and I'll drop that in the boiling water in an hour or so. I had a productive get-organized day yesterday and am ready for a joyful gathering today.

Is Annabelle Irish?


 She must be because I am having problems keeping the kitty off the table that has been lovingly pre-set for tomorrow's celebration. Today I have a LOT to do, but everything was purchased yesterday and so today is up and down stairs a billion times and fretting just a bit, as is my wont.

flirty love bug



We all need some whimsy these days. Isn't this car with long eyelashes a delight? I spotted her on my walk the other afternoon. Very cool.

MonkeyBrains


 Yesterday I dropped AT&T (with many wires) and went wireless with MonkeyBrains a local wireless company. I am thrilled and already have better reception for only $35 a month. Here is their story:

oh, those aristocrats


 Eddie inherits the gigantic home and has to worry about his screw-up brother Freddy and a few other problems, but The Gentlemen makes me smile between an incredible amount of British violence and lovely humor. On the Flix®.
