Emma's Room update

 I admit that I was a bit stubborn about installing curtains in Emma's Room, but I relented and Handy Jan recently hung these basics for my guests. I mean who wants to sleep once the morning light hits? My new tenant is Laura, whose daughter lives about two blocks away and just had a baby boy. Grandma Laura can walk to and fro. A good arrangement and I like my new tenant a lot. She will be here through July.

 We have been getting power outages here with more frequency than in the past and of course I worry about my iPad and iPhone and Apple watch. This little $26 wonder is exactly what I need. It is just a little bit bigger than my mini iPhone and I even took it out to dinner last week as my battery was getting low. No directions, as per usual, so I went on YouTube. I can see how much charge is in this power pack in that black dot so I can always keep it close to 100% in case of emergency. I know, what next?

Pride parade in SF and Budapest

 Thousands upon thousands marched in Budapest celebrating Gay Pride after the defeat of Trump's dictator pal Orban. Our parade is today. I watched many of these parades in person when I worked at the Big Box Borders store downtown, so today I will stick to television. After many days of fog we have sunshine already this morning and it is indeed a great day to honor our LGBTQ friends.

 I enjoyed this documentary on the Flix® because I am a fan of Gordon Ramsay even though he would be a difficult man to work for and even though I don't like to cook. He opened three restaurants in the tallest building in London and according to CoPilot, they are all doing VERY well. What a huge undertaking. Being Gordon Ramsay is not an easy life but fun to watch from afar.

Creativity Explored

 I have always wanted to visit this unique art gallery and studio on 16th Street. Last night there was a "do" there and I went with Nicole and had a great time. These artists are mentally challenged but so talented, as I hope you can see. The artists earn income from sales and royalties and yes, I was tempted to buy a few wonderful pieces but I restrained myself. Creativity Explored provides so much for so many. 

Tender Day 2026

 Today I remember and honor Husbando who left us eight years ago. He stays with me, helps me and yes, we still occasionally argue because he was stubborn and I was perfect. I was, and am, so fortunate.

my very good Tuesday

 Yesterday I went to the SF Villages for an excellent presentation by the two guys who originated and now organize the famous Human Banners down at Ocean Beach. Brad started this 20 years ago with maybe 150 people who had to lay down in the sand to make an impact. Enter Google Earth and Facebook and now as many as 7,000 people show up. What a huge undertaking. Travis partners with him and they work well together. I came home to sign up for the next event at human banners - SF and I will do my best to show up for democracy, aka Impeach on the Beach. Inspiring!
