It was an utterly perfect day weather-wise in San Francisco, but my horoscope on Astro.com was dead on: Buried Tensions ** Be extremely careful of your tendency toward moody irritability at this time. You are very subject to outbreaks of irrational and compulsive behavior that will not serve your bes...

Have no time/inclination for a longer blog today with the book signings but I want to stay true and disciplined and remember the day.  I love writing the longer entries, but this just isn’t the day — and yet I don’t want to let it go by unrecorded/unremembered. I don’t want to forge...

Yesterday, I swear I searched for five full minutes for matches to light one of the burners on the stove, only to discover that they’d been there the entire time. Or at least I think so … Bashar –– my favorite channeled alien –– speaks a lot about shifting between endles...

Astonishingly lovely drive to Sonoma to visit John Curry and Janice Crow, two artists who are friends with Susan who were having a show of their work over the weekend. I loved so much of their stuff –– took several photos of pieces that might just work perfectly with the decor in my unmaterialized San Fran...

Amazing Friday afternoon at the beach listening to the Emperor Concerto (Brendel & the Chicago Symphony Orchestra) while Belle threw her heart and soul into fetch. Strangely this VERY X-Files dude in a black trench coat was watching something mysterious and Italian being filmed as well.  I mean, WHAT i...

I really love this picture of Belle I look last night. Every night while staying in the Magic Cottage, I lift my 75 pound pup up to the loft bed we share.  And 90% of the time she immediately positions herself central in the bed so there’s no room for me. I don’t take this personally. Instead, ...

Morning service at the Oakland Center for Spiritual Living which was fantastic. Awesome music by Susan’s friend Nadine Risha;  very global and vibey mix of chant-y, Sanskrit mood music and some serious Barbra, too (“A Piece of Sky”). They do this thing where they welcome newcomers, asking...

First it was my new man-bag at dinner with Susan on night #1 in SF.  Last night it was my earphones at the Laughing Lotus.  I am adjusting to life here with ease, but leaving behind remnants at the same time, fortunately at relatively convenient, retrievable locations. A morning organizing my things in the...
