overbearing

somehow when my father is in the country we can go weeks without speaking, but when he steps foot on foreign land, he feels the need to communicate excessively. the following e-mail from his layover.  it should be mentioned that (A) it’s saturday night (B) i will see him tomorrow.

subject: Hi

body: Taking off soon, we land at 11:23 if you’re awake you can call us
after midnight hopefully well have our lugage and have the car and be
driving back home

Last Chapter – The Mission

Not being a professional photographer, my battery ran dry, and instead of leaving my heart in SF, I left my charger at home, but before she died, I was able to photograph some of the art works drawn on some of the buildings  in the area called “Mission”

Hope you enjoy my mini tour of the Mission

Stay tuned, next book, – coming out next year

SF – chapter IV

Went to a peruvian restaurant in San Francisco-  you can see what the food looked like (before we ate it)

Short Chapter II

The cappuccino at the Jewish Museum was amazing – , but I added sugar anyway

This woman in blue came up to me and said, “Darling – Merry Christmas”

a trip to frisco – Part 1

Just returned from visiting brother in San Francisco,
we visited the Jewish Museum and learned from our guide

that it is in the shape of two Hebrew Letters

Jews on Vinyl was pretty cool, but they left out Adam Richman

The architecture in SF is really cool, as you can see below

and below

and it was a fun time to shop, even though I didn’t buy anything

(except for a pair of cufflings)

stay tunes for chapter Two

one e-mail, two topics

subject: Hi

body: Well my car wouldn’t start, had it towed to the dealer and AAA
