the Jewel in 2024

 Despite the grey day and our Loss to the NY Mets, it was just so wonderful being back at the ball park yesterday. I had a lovely walk down the Embarcadero next to the Bay after my BART ride and then Amy and I enjoyed very good seats down front, very near 3rd base. And the hot dog tasted extra good after all this time. So yes, we will go again and soon, I hope. 

RIP, Reverend

 If there is a heaven, the Rev. Cecil Williams is front and center there now. He co-founded Glide Memorial Church which Bill and I attended back in the 70's. Glide is now famous for helping the poor and hungry with their food kitchen and work programs. Rev. Williams was dynamic and a power house of a man. Talk about a life well-lived. He was 94 and was as important to this city as the cable cars or Golden Gate Bridge. 

another Diplomat...

 ...both are good. This one takes place in Barcelona ~ always fun. Murders and mysteries and all those fun things we love around the TV set. I found this on Prime and enjoyed it immensely.

city love

 My first meeting as a volunteer for the Re-elect Mayor London Breed was yesterday and I had such a fine day in downtown San Francisco. The bottom photo is from an office and can you imagine trying to get ANY work done while looking out at this grandeur? This campaign will not be an easy one but I will do my small part because I admire Mayor Breed so much.

The Farmhouse

 This is a Thai restaurant in the neighborhood and I want to go based solely on the waiter's floral uniform and the wonderfully colorful sign-in booth right out of the Barbie movie. However Jen with two dogs reports that the menu is fabulous, so I will do a Farmhouse foodie review ASAP. 

the good, the not so good

 I so enjoyed the walk to BART with new SF artistic whimsy along the way. Thank you to citizens who take the time to paint flowers on their stairs for others to appreciate. Then a too long dental visit, but hey, that was yesterday and today is new and pain-free and life is good. Onward!

a fun new word game

 Yesterday I visited the Blogmaid's mother down in Pumpkinville and she helped me set up Word Chums on my iPad and we played a few rounds. It's a clever no-pressure kind of scrabble game and I can play it with people or with "the computer." I like the colorful graphics and we need to keep our brains clicking along these days.
