Fogust
We are back to some "safe" ground balls after a two week hiatus. Physically this works for me as I'd like to keep going; whether we end up having a softball season or not (not likely). It's good to get back out there with the guys and stretch it out. I don't leave the house without a mask and it looks like that piece of cloth has become another ( Read more... ) -
Stairway to Netflix
I had a very Twilight Zone dream last night.
There were four of us chased between different worlds and realities. These existences were separated by a staircase coming up from the sidewalk. In this dream, we were pursued by something. Our response was to run down this portal staircase. With every "floor" and reality, there was a new and different ( Read more... ) -
Softballs and Hardballs
I'm organizing my softball team for a few out of town tournaments. The Seamen finished a good season, going 8-3-1 and are set to play some more, now that the season is over. For many of us, the final game hit us like: "is this really the last game." The scheduling this year has been unusual; a doubleheader, then a weekend off, then a rain out... ( Read more... ) -
Squeezing Things in a 2-D Weekend
Monday is the universally understood blech day of the week (If you're working it). It's sunny and 75 degrees out there. The San Francisco fog's hide and seek routine, the last couple of days has inspired residents to sport shorts and tees. The thought of laying on a beach somewhere was an attractive concept. It is days like these, that the memory ( Read more... ) -

Hours in a Day
It was great seeing my softball teammates yesterday, after a long layoff. The softball 2010 season is underway. We've got a fundraiser planned for the 20th at Moby Dick and practices on Sundays in Feb and March ( Read more... ) -
Bring on the Night
I see flashes of the sun during the day, I take a walk, get a bite to eat then I attempt to get my 7 hours of sleep before my next graveyard shift. Welcome to my 2010 reality.
After going for a full-time gig at a previous contract assignment, the fact of being low man on the shift totem pole set in. Yes, if it wasn't good pay, good benefits (and ( Read more... ) -
The Moon over Palm Desert
The moon over Palm Desert doesn’t have to compete with surrounding buildings. That’s nice, if you like being surrounded by darkness and what do they say here “looking at the stars” (so long as you’re not doing it while you’re driving). Saturday nights’ full moon in the desert was an impressive sight; a big plump shiny rock in the sky helping us ( Read more... ) -
Green Day
Growing up in New York City, I've enjoyed marking the differences between San Francisco/ California and the east coast. I've blogged about the Pizzas (or was that whining), the bagels...the Jewish deli...sigh ( Read more... )
