Friends, I’m going through a down time, and I think it shows on the blog. Offline, I’m having various conversations, and even thoughts, which, for various reasons, I’m choosing not to share in this space — at least not yet.
Part of the issue, I think, is that I’m starting to develop a nagging sense of what I should be posting. More political writing, essays, analysis, etc. The sense of play I brought here, especially in the beginning when I was specifically trying to avoid political blogging, is evaporating.
So for a time, I’m gonna give myself a break and just post little things that make me smile.
Like this light in the sky, which literally stopped me in my tracks as my friend Sierra and I passed the SF main library at Civic Center, on our way to a show unknown to me at the time. (Sierra was surprising me for my birthday.)
Have a good weekend, everyone! See you Monday.

I like little things that make you smile. They ususally make me smile too, and I spend entirely too much dour time over poitics. So thank you.
The contrast in this photo is quite beautiful. Sounds like it was stunning in person.
Katie, I hear ya…sometimes we need to disconnect to reconnect. Bis Bald!
