bargain matinee

 Back to the Alamo yesterday with Amy doing all the heavy lifting again. Eephus is a sweet little baseball movie about a small town ritual that will be ending for this group of mostly out-of-shape, mostly middle age men. Quiet humor and nostalgia. Sweet, but not for everyone unless you love baseball. Oh, EEphus is the name of a very slow pitch, or so it seems.

making life better

 So far, so good with our Giants. I love having these games to look forward to and last night we beat the Astros after winning the series in Cincinnati. I'm starting to learn the names of the new players and listening to our old favorite announcers is music to my ears. 

Wayne Thiebaud's great talent

 This exhibit at the Legion of Honor just opened and my friend Susan (who lives up in Davis) and I felt great appreciation to see it yesterday before the crowds descend. Susan had met Mr. Thiebaud (who used to live in Sacramento) and we were both a bit overwhelmed by the depth and diversity of his work. He painted way more than the desserts he is so famous for. A very good Sunday for sure!

a lot of buzz

 The Studio is Seth Rogen's salute to Hollywood and he is on all the talk programs and the series is supposed to be hilarious, and it is sort of amusing and of course fun to see all the stars misbehaving. I seldom laugh out loud when I'm supposed to at these don't-miss television spectaculars and this was no exception. But I will probably watch it some more on Apple TV. Maybe.

and all for $12

 My friend Terri and one of my neighbors are quilters and I have always admired this artistic talent. So I bought a ticket to the SF Quilt Show yesterday that was held at St. Mary's Cathedral. I had a delightful couple of hours and I was so impressed with all the glorious work. The artist for the crossword puzzle piece (top photo) was there explaining all the meaningful and personal details of her work. Yes, I am very happy that I went yesterday. 

two weeks and yikes!

 I know, I know - everything is on my iPhone and yet I like hard copies of everything. So that file folder is stuffed with all sorts of crap that I probably won't need. The British Airway plane leaves two weeks from today and I'm still working on the endless To Do List. And no, I have not done much research and yes, I forgive myself for that. Emma's Room has become a staging area where I hang "shall I take this?" clothes and accessories. Handy. Oh, Passport. Take that downstairs now. OK, will do. 

finally ~ it's Opening Day!

 Our Giants had the best record in Spring Training ~ imagine that! It is going to be a good season, or so most experts are predicting. Today we are in Cincinnati, how lovely to have baseball on radio and tv now instead of listening to Trump horrors, lies and cover-ups. Play ball...
