This is the short and the long of it . . . William Shakespeare
I loved this place from the first time I saw it on the cliff at Pleasure Point. The Road House was built in 1902 with a saloon on the first floor and on the second floor were beds for “extracurricular activities” as well as a massage parlor. Bootleggers buried their contraband liquor in the sand [...]
I finally had a chance to go downtown today to pick up my stash of books. I could see that the stash had grown overnight. Some kind elf, who hadn’t been available when I went in the first time, had added a few books on stroke to my collection. I’m leaving on the 12th to [...]
This is why I don’t Twitter. Here we go with my day. I checked my email and cleared spam from my blog. Then I went off to the Museum of Art and History to meet Marlene and Judy for a Cafe au Something at Lulu’s. Lulu’s has three locations and the man who owns this [...]
There’s a garden shop in Half Moon bay that sells tumbled glass mulch. Glass mulch for your garden. I don’t know. I’d like to see it in a glass jar or a shallow bowl, but a whole path …it seemed a bit mulch to me. (Click to Zoom is still working though).
It’s the food that’s so sexy at Avanti. All the locals know about the Quiche. If you don’t get there early, forget it, it’s gone. The rest of the menu is fabulous so it’s not as though you will be disappointed if you’re forced to order something else. There were nine of us, the Russians, [...]
It sounded like cats running across the roof. Jim was in the middle of a conference call here at home with his co-workers on the other side of the mountain in Silicon Valley when the cats skittered across the roof. The conference call was canceled. The earthquake probably felt worse to people in the valley, [...]
Hollister experienced a swarm of little earthquakes tonight and six after shocks. We felt one of them here on the coast. Well, Jim did. I was in my bath so I missed the performance. He said the house creaked long enough to get his attention. It was 75 degrees today. Unbelievable. I don’t recall ever [...]
This is too weird even for me. We’ve already had a week of hot, sunny weather and the forecast is for another week of the same. Everyone at the farmers’ market were dressed in summer clothes today, volley ball on the beach in bathing suits. Although it may sound good to folks in Minnesota where [...]
Ignorance is bliss only until you discover that you made a mistake and that your landscaper screwed up too. When I first moved into this house I decided to brick in a large section of the back yard. That was a mistake. It has a western exposure making the yard a brick oven in summer. [...]
