happy birthday (in your best english accent)

Happy Birthday to my favoUrite Brit! (And here is my favourite photo of my favourite scruffy boy.) Kisses. I can’t tell you how old he is, but rumor has it that it starts with a 3 and ends with a 4.

And to my readers - if your birthday is coming up soon, be sure to [...]

useless

So I’ve been thinking of adding two new sidebar items to my blog page. After drawing check boxes in Photoshop all week, one is going to be a list entitled “How I Used My Masters Degree Today,” and the other is going to be “Useless E-mails of the Month.” This e-mail arrived in my inbox [...]

penny and me

As promised, here is a photo from the Rancho Murieta sporthorse show earlier this month (click it). My favorite Sharks fan brought this photo home of me and her horse Penny, looking smooth over an oxer in one of our hunter classes. Ok, the horse is looking smooth but I’m not. My leg has slipped [...]

doing fine

I decided to go to my D league game tonight, to see if I could stomach another hour of heckling from guys who can’t skate. The boys were definitely surprised to see me back, and the locker room quieted down a bit when I walked in. Well geez, I don’t want people to be afraid [...]

point of view

I’m going to kill Blogger. It ate my template yesterday and I spent several hours fixing this entire blog. Of course, if I took care of things properly, maybe you didn’t even notice. What you may have noticed is my new “Point of View” section on the left over there. I have a lot of [...]

hockey sur glace

The day had turned steely again. Just a band of late-afternoon pink glowing along the hills gave the sole evidence that the sun had even broken through earlier. The trio of us headed far down the ice. We kept near the shore at first, past drooping, yellow-fingered weeping willows, then cut right out for the [...]

playing tour guide

Sampleminded came to visit over the weekend on his first west coast tour, and I volunteered to show him around the city. This is a little ironic, since you who know me know how easily I get lost in that smelliness known as San Francisco, not to mention my inherent dislike of the city after [...]

loneliness

And you’ll be hurting in a way you can’t explain
And all those pretty things you love will look so vain
‘Cause the laughing crowd is such a hopeless sound
When loneliness comes crashing down
- Del Amitri, Crashing Down

if only

I’m upset about the Sharks. But who isn’t out here? In the final seconds, there was a missed scoring opportunity that sent the puck gliding down to the other end of the ice, into an open net. As if missing that pass wasn’t injury enough, the goal was counted. I drove home thinking, “If only.” [...]

baseball

We got the half day off work last Thursday to go to the Giants vs. Phillies game at SBC Park. I thought about posting the photos to my images page, but I decided I was too hideous in most of them, so I’m posting them here (at least, the ones that don’t include me).
This [...]
