Last month at the Alameda flea market I came up with a couple of finds. One of them was an old grocery store sign that I put up on our daughter’s bedroom door. Now everybody knows which room is hers. Just in case you couldn’t tell from the bright pink bathrobe and curtains. Honey …

Gotcha!
I’ve been a blue heron paparazzi the past few weeks, snooping and lurking, and I finally caught him. And if you think that’s wild – have a look at this shot! I must admit, I’m not sure in the heron world whether he’s being a complete dork or a total stud in this photo. We’ll …
Sending My Egrets
Yes I know. I’m just too funny for words. I’m sorry. I just can’t help it. Ok, tacky titles aside – Hot Wheels and I had the best, best, best bike ride home from ballet this morning. It’s bird heaven here these days. I just simply had to take a few mediocre photos. The …
Fathers
On Father’s Day, Tom wanted to do some painting, so he and the kids took to the back deck for some art in the sun. They had a great time, and I think Tom enjoyed the day. Thanks for being such an amazing father, Tom! We’re so lucky to have you. While I’m at it, …
Random Acts of Beauty
Here are some random shots from my beautiful trip to Peru. Of course the greatest beauty I encountered there was undoubtedly in the people I met. I’ll be frank – Peru seems to have an overabundance of gorgeous people, but it was their warmth, generosity and humor that knocked my socks off. I don’t have …
Fishs Eddy
Here is a story about a platter, a mad hatter, and some old-school customer service. My daughter dances at a great studio here in our town. They have performances at the end of their class cycles, like many other schools. I like the performances at this school because there are the mandatory insanely cute tiny …

Ultracool
This is not my usual title. But today is an exception, because I’m wearing this: [See that metal cockatoo hanging from our garage? It’s thinking, “WOW you look cool!” and I’m thinking, “Don’t I know it.”] This awesome shirt was designed by my friend Austin. He’s 6. (Look out, world.) Just because I’m ultracool …
Yosemite
We’ve only been living out here for about, oh, 14 years or so, and we’ve never been to Yosemite. No sense rushing into things, is there? So we finally packed up the kids and the camp box and went to check it out. WOW. It’s so hard to put up a photo of it, since …
Do you Hulu?
We’re hooked on hulu.com. You can watch movies and tv shows free, and it’s been fun looking up some old favorites. WKRP anyone? (“On the air? I AM the air! And the wind!… Thanks for the lid, Art.”) I loved the movie Serenity, but never saw Firefly, which is the series that came first. Well, the episodes …
