Purple Spring Flowers
•
It’s been raining here in California for the last week or so, which is actually unusual for the spring. We tend to get all of our rain in the winter, and then that tapers off into long dry summers. This evening I was looking through my photographs of flowers and…

So, This Santa Walked into a Bar…
•
A couple of weekends ago, my family (Mom, Dad, Sean) all went out for a night on the town. San Francisco is often amusing and amazing, especially during the holidays. That night, we headed to The Castro and what did we see roaming the streets? Big packs of Santas, making…

Photo Friday: Pictures from the Dogpatch in San Francisco
•
My new job is in a funky neighborhood called the “Dogpatch.” It’s way south of downtown, south of the ballpark, in an area that’s full of warehouses and factories. The building we work in is an old packing plant that’s been divided up into offices. It’s quirky and has a…

Ever so Useful
•
The last few days have been busy, and I realize I’ve been without my “real” camera for over a week. I usually carry it everywhere I go, but I left it at my sister’s house last weekend and haven’t retrieved it yet. Instead of having that in my purse, I’ve…

Abundance on a Wednesday
•
I was thinking a lot about abundance today, and I remembered some flowers I’d seen over the past couple of weeks. Tulips, full of oranges and yellows, with shining faces: “It is not only my right and my privilege to walk in the abundance God has for me, it is…

Friday Music: Ring of Fire
•
The last few days have been nutso at work. Nuts, I tell you. It’s been super busy, reminding me of the old dotcom days, well, except without dial up. There was something about the frenzied pace that made me sentimental for Johnny Cash. Back when I worked at Quokka, we’d…
