I can't walk by a mirror these days without doing "that thing"....you know, when you pull your face taut and wonder why you haven't made an appoitnment to see Dr. Stephen J. Ronan who could make you look super fabulous.  You'd still be you, just a slightly better version.  Here's more on Blackhawk Plastic Surgery website, and here's the page at our website where you can ask our medical expert, Dr. Ronan about anything from injectibles to more complex makeover procedures.

Oh and here's a picture of me doing my Facelift Face pose.

Back when this picture was taken--September 1988--you couldn't just flip out your phone and start shooting (I don't think they made rotary dial camera phones).  In fact, you'd hope someone had a camera, then you'd ask permission to take the picture, next you'd drop the roll of film at the drugstore and after a few days you'd return to the drugstore to pick up your prints.  You'd have to wait and wait and wait for your gratification back then.  How do we practice patience these days?

Happy Birthday Will Mays.  I'm glad someone had a camera that day.

My friend Joanne Robinson from the Throckmorton Theater in Mill Valley invited me to play basketball with her team this past Monday night.  I assumed she wanted me to keep score and bring snacks.  Nope, she had a uniform for me, and all I needed to do was show up at the gym.  

It was the most fun I'd had in F-O-R-E-V-E-R. The fabulous and funny Michael Pritchard was on my team, as was his son, Conner. Geoff Bolt showed up to play and so did Danny Slomoff, Erin, Laureen Helen, Cooper, Chris and a bunch of other fun folks.  We had the pleasure of being trounced by The Seals from REC Inc, which stands for Recreation Education and Community. They offer wonderful programs serving the developmentally disabled adult community.

Here's our team photo.  I hope they ask me to come back.

This time we won't be burning our bras in political protest, although it's been argued that bras were burned only symbolically in the the Sixties.  A new French study (are you kidding, didn't we borrow lingerie from the French dictionary) is sure to disappoint anyone who's ever slipped in or out of a sexy, piece of lace, straps and wires.

The scene: I'm in my car, the traffic is crawling to a stop.  I'm just about to get annoyed and then I remember where I am--about midspan on the Golden Gate Bridge. I drink in the view, and watch the groups of tourists snapping pictures and taking video of this incredible piece of real estate. I shut-off the complaining voice in my head.  

The Golden Gate National Recreation Area is the Number Two  most vistited parkland in America.  Why it's not Number One is anybody's guess.

Even the traffic can't ruin the beauty of the Bridge.
