From Scratch
That’s the name of the Netflix series I started. But first I have to say that Nick came over today in place of his mom, Myra. While he was here he showed me how to make voice recordings on this iPad. And my new respect for AI because it spelled out the steps to take.…

Taste, in all its aspects
I tried to sign up for Jetpack to increase my readership. That ended up, but not finished, to be a big to-do. What I wanted to post initially is “Nuts” Nuts! I love them to the point of excess. I ate so many almonds I developed an allergy to them. Not fun. Anaphylactic shock, which…

Bucket list in a ‘bunch‘
I start the day with a list of things to do. Doesn’t everyone? I start knocking them off and begin to feel more and more to completion. Mid day, a couple of glitches. Oh, you have to go back. Start again. You do. You’re waiting for a return call from your bank. You were 26th…

Vitamin scramble
I take 11 supplements, which I have on a spinning lazy Susan, the only fun thing about it. I line them up early and by the time I take them after dinner, I don’t have to think about it. Today I wisely waited until a couple were refilled at the pharmacy. The doc told me…

Taste, the Menu
There’s a show by Kristin Darrow called “Taste” to be presented here at Studio 124. I want to see it to see how all the aspects of taste (we’re talking food) are shown on moving human bodies, dancers. Interesting subject. Along those lines, I was looking for something to watch on Netflix and after dismissing…

Nothing to Fear except Fear Itself
Thank you, Franklin D Roosevelt. That held true today because my anticipatory fear of the Blue Angels making ear shattering noise was unfounded this year. I don’t know why, but I’m glad. The ultra sonic sound was brief. Maybe the Navy put mufflers on their jets. I have no idea. I watched the movie “Lucky”…

Cancelling plans
I decided not to go to Dolores Park tomorrow for the Rescue Dog demonstration because: I don’t think I could stand for an hour and a half and even if I tried, I would be afraid of my cane penetrating the grass and wobbling. That makes me sad. I did want to see it. So,…

Accolades!
Today I had the last, I hope, of birthday lunches. My birthday was 12 days ago. With Quorey, Myra and myself, we went to Le Marais, a French bistro in the Castro district. I had a delicious Salade Nicoise and for desert the house gave me a flan and the most crazy, yummy chocolate “brownie”.…

Speed voting
I am pushing myself to make my choices and post my ballot. I know which candidates to choose. In fact, I’ve already filled in the little circles. Then there are seven State propositions and 10 city/county ones. The SF Democratic Party sent their endorsements for the local stuff and that helps. I just want to…

Beautiful day in the neighborhood!
It was absolutely perfect. Blue skies, gentle breeze and Myra and I went to my favorite French bistro, Chez Maman on Potrero Hill. I had suggested we go at 2 pm, to avoid the lunch crowd. I had the onion soup and we split an arugula salad. And a glass each of bubbly. Timing was…
