The Green

The Universe be funny.  Sometimes it’s best to just let it do its thing.  Last weekend I had no plans whatsoever to go to The Green show. Apparently the Universe did not agree.  And though it was last minute, with tix given to us on the day of…just hours before, why fight the powers that…

Niner Gang

Just An Extra Ordinary Weekend

It was a weekend of getting out and doing nothing in particular…in the Bay.  Letting the road unfold to its destined path is sometimes how I like to roll.  So here’s a peek at what an ordinary weekend is like, from my not-so-ordinary point of view.  Because let’s face it…an ordinary day is always extra…
