This Xmas I am not returning to Connecticut to be with my extended family. Instead, Belle and I are hanging VERY low in SF, enjoying the quiet and celebrating in our own way. The only person –– besides my Secret Santa –– that I have gifted is my faux–nemesis at the UPS store (a copy of UPWARD DOG), appropr...

√  Beachwalk with Susan & Belle –– spectacular weather √  Drive Susan (and Val) to airport √  Platinum Parking (thanks to new parking permit) √  Moves files and projects upstairs from cottage so I can re-stack & re-organize √  Nap √  Watch remainder of Season 3 of BORED TO DEATH (1/2 complete) √  H...

This morning our experience at the Municipal Parking Authority can truly only be described as a TRIUMPH. This is largely because Belle and I were braced for hours in line of waiting.  It  turned out to be 10 minutes, with a brief intermission since because of zoning subtleties we had to regroup and return ...

Nothing is more daunting than Secret Santa, especially if you don’t know your drawn-from-a-hat giftee at all. We’re doing that tonight at the Laughing Lotus Holiday Party, but I am thrilled to report that I not only have a rather sensational gift to give, I also experienced a personal triumph I...

Amy has become a real friend this fall, which is remarkable given that her book launch happen...

If you have been reading here, you know I have been exploring deeply the Human Design situation of being an emotional projector and thus –– much like a Vampire unable to enter a home unbidden –– being required to WAIT for invitations for all major things in life. And in typically hilarious fashion, the Uni...

Yesterday was such an intense day that today I slept in to compensate. First, I showed up for my new client only to learn that somehow the lesson was not on –– non-tragic but slightly confusing. Then because of another Belle 2 am thing, took a delightful mid-morning nap.  (Last night we both slept like bab...

Took Steven’s class at the Lotus yesterday — which I loved — and felt again post him and Jeremi on Friday morning, that connection to “I wish I could do that.” Most of the fancy, party trick poses that I lusted after are now in my repertoire, although if we’re being tota...

Yesterday began at 4am — awakened by Belle but also that oddly magical Brahma Murti Time. Cleaned and organized for three or four hours and then went back to sleep. Excited for my friends Taniya and Michael’s baby shower at Dosa, as I was leaving at 11:15, a loud scraping sound stopped me. The ...
