So in lieu of the usual verbiage (you’re welcome) I’m going to toss up a handful of recent photos.  For certain reasons which will remain unstated I will have to rely on what’s…

I have that familiar urge, that primal passion I share with the painters of Lasceaux and the mercenaries of Kandahar, the throbbing drive that compels us all, to blog a little something.  I’ve…

I continue to get a fair share of my paltry few visitors as the result of their search for “Elky Summers”.  You youngsters may not know that that’s a crappy grandpa pun about…

I hopped the bus a little late last week and had to sit way in the back, but at least I still got an in-facing bench.  The back is where the action is, I told myself - where the young people congregate…

So there’s this guy - I’ll tell you about him: the Grubby Groper of Outer Geary.  I don’t know if he’s an inspiration or an exasperation to me, a cautionary tale or a mythic…

I have another grubby Geary story for you but I don’t think I’m going to sit around this evening typing it up before I go home.  Maybe later on tonight?  O you should be so lucky,…

Some writings can stand a bit of aging - they don’t need to be thrust down your eyeballs right away.  The Geary Blvd Stories turn out to be in that category; I’ll finish that series…

So here’s the deal: I’ve got two sets of photos. They’re both cool, but it’s too much for me to post all at once.  However, one of those photosets is about to go stale,…

SO: funny thing.  No, the trip to Seoul was great - coming and going, especially the return flight with the two best and sweetest kids on the plane.  In Korea we ate some great food, stayed…

Here are two lists, because my life right now seems to consist mainly of identifying things that need to be done and then doing them.  SO:

LIST 1: baked goods that are now in residence…

I’m still conflicted about talking about Korea until I can deal with the photos - either knowing they’re gone or showing you the wonders of the Mr Wow shop or the Abe Lincoln graffiti or…

Sure there are a lot of cute and meaningful things I could write about what’s been happening around here over the past few weeks.  But I’m just not ready for that yet, can you dig…
