Pointless, Incessant Barking © Cartoonbank.com

I had dinner with my friend Amy the other day. I told her how much I liked writing on my blog. I probably talked a bit too much about it because she told me about this cartoon she’d seen in the New Yorker.

10th Annual North Bay Heart Walk

This blog entry is dedicated to my friend and colleague’s granddaughter who had heart surgery last Thursday. Today, I walked the Heart Walk. My friend Carol and I managed just under an hour for five miles around Spring Lake. She sets a good pace. I’m always impressed. Up until today, I didn’t really know why …

Why Polaroids?

I have recently decided to take Polaroid pictures. I even borrowed a Polaroid camera to see if I would like it first. I originally had an idea to make a photo essay of the coffee makers in my life. I seem to somehow have accumulated seven, even though I use only one. I just thought …

Sonoma Mountain Road

It’s all in the anticipation I think. It’s all in the expectation of doing something that makes it exciting. I guess that’s why there is an entire industry of marketing and advertising.

How to Get in a Kayak from a Dock Without Getting Wet

To my sister who asked in an email: How do you get in a kayak from a dock without getting wet? From someone who got wet. Imagine you are standing on a dock perpendicular to the shore. That is, the dock sticks out into the lake. Imagine the kayak is on the left hand side …

Outside the DMV

I got up extra early this morning to go to the DMV in Petaluma. I wanted to get there when it opened (at 8h00 am, or so I thought). There were a few other people when I arrived who immediately told me that, today, the DMV opened at 9h00 am. I have lost my driver’s …

My life-saving butt

The other day, I opened a magazine and found myself staring at the words: My Butt is Big. Not the normal words you would find in a fitness magazine. It turns out that this ad is part of the Nike real woman ad campaign. I love it. I went to nikewomen.nike.com to find out more. …
