I had a feeling...

 Right from the moment the Valks got into the Finals I was dreading Game 7, and yet I knew it would happen and now here it is. Tomorrow night, right here at home. I will host a small pizza party and we will wear violet colors and sit in our "winning" chairs and scream at the TV. So much fun, so agonizing.

Oh, brunch! Oh, Mary!

 What a delightful day. Dancing Jen and I enjoyed a delicious early lunch at Heist and then off we trotted to the nearby Curran to see Alaska Thunderfuck play Mary Todd Lincoln, the cabaret star and wife of Abraham. There we met Terri and Kevin Eye for a mini Borders reunion. This was a sold out show but we had great seats. Catch this play if you can, it is such fun.

the rabbi and the agnostic

 Season Three of Nobody Wants This and so far it is just as good as the previous two seasons. This year Sarah Silverman joins the cast as yet another rabbi and I have always appreciated her. Noah and Joanne have now moved in together and face some typical adjustments and changes. Good tv on the Flix®.

Game Five = WIN!

 Heidi, Rob and Laurence joined me last night for a mini Watch Party and wow, it was a great game. If they win in Atlanta (gulp) Thursday morning at 9:30am (double gulp) they are the champs. If not, back to Ballhalla at Chase Center on Saturday. VERY exciting indeed.

the before, the after

 Jen with two dogs works part-time at a nearby cooking school and yesterday she provided me with some of the overflow product. Chicken and veggies, barley with corn, Japanese bread in the lower left corner. I did furnish the water. Such a yummy dinner treat. Once again, I am such a lucky woman. 

10am and 6pm

 That was a lot of stress and emotion for a Saturday morning, but the Valkyries beat the Dream(s) and now return home to their adoring fans with this Final series all tied up at 2-2. Then, last night, after I recovered we had a great time over at Doug and Barb's. Two favorites, Mike and Brent, are here from Atlanta. Delicious food, as always, and a lot to talk and laugh about. One delightful Saturday ~ yay!

stroganoff and art

 Thanks to Terri I had a delightful yesterday. First, lunch at the new Cinderella (yum!) and then to see the Paul Madonna exhibit over on Bartlett Street. Terri found good parking both times so we salute her positive karma. I have been a huge fan of this local artist since he produced the much loved "All Over Coffee" drawings in the Sunday SF Chronicle years ago. His life has been difficult (under statement) since a serious car accident and his art has helped him recover. Gratitude to Terri for a very fine afternoon.
