Bar hopping: The final chapter…

Well, there are Big Johnny and I, at the last bar we visited at the end of a very long day in San Francisco. Man, I was pretty toasted by that point. I think, by that point, I had walked … Continue reading

Bar hopping: In which I explain how a visit to a sixties exhibit at a museum ties in nicely with a long walk interspersed with much beer drinking… part 3…

Just a hint of the cuteness you have to look forward to…

Yup, it’s my little cousins. I am, at this moment, in Santa Cruz, California. I stopped by on the way back from my mom’s house in the Bay Area, and spent the night. Today, we are doing fun stuff. No, … Continue reading

Bar hopping: In which I explain how a visit to a sixties exhibit at a museum ties in nicely with a long walk interspersed with much beer drinking… part 2… ***(Oh, and if you read all the posts about my adventure in San Francisco from the top down, the way the wordpress overlords have it set up, it will make even less sense than my blog usually does)***

Sixties, schmixties… that dress is funny in any generation…

Just sayin’… Well, sorry, Willie, but if you stood still, you wouldn’t be blurry… sheeeesh… four-year-olds. I know, you don’t really care about a museum exhibit about the 60’s, and I know, I am doing too many posts today. But … Continue reading

Wait… what the heck is the sum of love, exactly???

Is this one of those ‘new math’ problems? Either way… or no way at all… that is a good picture of Big Johnny, and my godson, William. Oh… right… we went to that museum in San Francisco… and they had … Continue reading

This pirate statue is both funny and deeply thought-provoking, but you have to look closely to figure out why…
