What's up, little pup?

Makes me smile: Scooping up my little dog, burying my face in her neck and inhaling. She smells like earth and innocence.

This is Mila fully grown:

And a few post-op pics, just under a year ago...

I'm sort of afraid...

...that this will be me in 10 years:



Hope you had a great Labor Day weekend!

p.s. I love my dog

One of the greatest days: This is how we wash the elephants

Now filed under one of my favorite travel memories, the day we bathed and rode the freshly scrubbed elephants in the South of India. I know I'm anthropomorphizing, but just look how happy this elephant is!

We arrived at the river early in the morning, just before the elephants and were invited to join their handlers in the water to help bathe them (the elephants, not the handlers!). Using just a cut piece of coconut husk, we had a blast splashing the elephants and scrubbing them down.

We got to ride the big one later that morning.

It's okay to cry in the Castro (guess which foot is mine)

Chinese breakfast, congee and noodles, somewhere near 19th and Lawton...

Wedding tribute, Haight St.

First dance, Golden Gate Yacht Club

A day in the life of Abbey Road

Isn't it great how an album cover from what, over 30 years ago, can still make people act silly all day long at this crosswalk? Have to love anything that gets people to take off their serious face and have a little fun. I want to go to there.

Neat.

It's Saturday! Go ahead, stay in bed all day. You've earned it.

Friday Fun

Watch this, it will make you smile. I promise.
