The Z Space on Sunday

 What a treat. Thanks to this very blog I was able to remember that I read parts of Annunciation by Lauren Groff as a short story back in 2015 when the world was young and innocent. Sort of. Yesterday was a terrific adaptation by Word For Word at Z Space where I met Pat and we both so enjoyed this amazing production. A young woman leaves her family to come to the Bay Area. Sound familiar?

photos from Amsterdam

 I met a new friend at the Giants game on Wednesday. She is a pilot and on Friday she flew to Amsterdam and I asked for a photo, any photo, as I have never been there. She sent some glorious ones giving me a real sense of that beautiful city. The Tulip Museum is across the river in this shot. I feel joy this morning.

yes, we Wordle

 Some people use the same start word (arise, orate, e.g.) but I usually just find some 5-letter guess word and twice I hit the jackpot with the #1 win. Once was CLEAN and then lately it was JUMPY. Every once in awhile I will miss the word (eeeew) and I didn't play in Chicago so my record is not great. But Wordle is definitely part of my morning ritual. 

Friday morning ritual

 Bernal Bread has a pop-up store down by Precita Park every Friday morning. My neighbor Heidi and I walk down to join the breadline and then have coffee at Charlie's Cafe afterwards. Today was particularly nice with the sun burning off the fog earlier than usual. Gratitude (again).

bad ball game, good day

 The Giants lost 13-0 yesterday, if you can possibly imagine. The sun was out and the Jewel was packed and my ticket was a freebie. I had a fine time, despite the game.

a wonderful rare finish

 Patrick Bailey's walk-off-inside-the-park home run last night was very special and I have been watching it this morning and I will see it again on the big screen today as I am going to the game. We beat the Phillies two games in a row and I'm looking forward to some fun in the fog.

guerrilla benches

 The San Francisco Bay Area Bench Collective has built and installed eight wooden benches near bus stops where we need them most. Of course the city officials are having a fit and worrying about law suits and insurance and paperwork and blah, blah. But it sure feels good to sit some days, right?
