Schenectady

· San Francisco

Isn't that a great word? More on the history of that here. I love the story in that part of the world and how many layers of people have lived in the same area. Today was a fairly busy catch-up day, as I addressed various tasks that had been pending in my inbox. Feeling victorious. It's also the time of evaluations and performance reviews.

Still too much news that gives me a stomachache. It doesn't have to be this way.

It's FRIDAY, and in one week we leave to go on our grand adventure.

Beautiful eucalyptus leaves
a little damp
New construction in the hood
Potato plants!
Foggy mid-morning
Midday glamour shot
Can you see the crow in this picture? So amazing that such a huge bird can hide like that
Very chic garbage can in our alley
Shriveled, broken, misshapen succulent heart
Another large cat on the Smith Cottage full house mural.

Mark your calendars, Kronos Quartet is coming to Zellerbach on October 11, 2025 8 pm

Sending oodles of love,
