Today’s aerobics teacher was telling us how Costco looked like Black Friday when she went there on Saturday. The TV news station reported similar hysteria at a Hayward Target store. Apparently, people were buying toilet paper and paper towels this weekend, for Armageddon. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, especially if they have… Continue reading Mass Hysteria and the Coronavirus

Ah Choo! It’s Allergy Season
My friends post photos of themselves gallivanting through our green hills dotted with wildflowers. It’s California, we are having the driest February in 160 years, and the pollen is exploding everywhere. My nose itches just looking at the photos of the greenery. I bought an air purifier.

But there’s one more late show this weekend, an all-time favorite R & B band that plays Black soul, Black blues, Black disco, and… Continue reading D is for Dancing
UPS Freeway Scare
It was a day like any other day. I was late leaving the house for exercise class so decided to jump on the freeway for two exits to save time. As I was driving, thinking about all the things I had to do that day, I noticed a UPS truck merging into my lane with… Continue reading UPS Freeway Scare
