Visiting bars to support musicians and dance is risky. I just had the extremely good fortune to have 3 fine followers at 1 bar and 4, including a California Swing Dance Hall of Fame inductee, at another. I wish to thank each of them for accepting my invitations to dance.

A few days ago along The Embarcadero, we were delighted with the San Francisco Bay Bridge's new lighting. This evening, on the way to North Beach, the new lighting was off but, on the way home, there was a spectacular display.

My best wishes to all this season of holidays.
I hope that you have a very enjoyable holiday season.
May peace, good times, and health be upon you
not just for this new year, but for the rest of your life.

Mike Rinta - trombonist, composer's Swing Therapists is a knock-out quintette. The musicianship is fine, the grooves are solid, the rhythms and tempi what dancers want and need. I couldn't be more satisfied with their gigs I unhesitantingly recommend hiring this excellent group.

At least twice a month, we pass by the San Francisco Airport on the same weekday around the same time of day when we usually see at least 5 'planes about to land and 2 just after take-off. Today, there were only 2 about to land and none beginning a flight.

I tried to leave an envelope at the San Francisco IRS office around 7 this evening. ALL of the doors were inaccessible due to temporary fencing. There was not a human in sight.

crying and sobbing so much since the election I'm more vulnerable than usual.
Conductor Keith Lockhart even managed to swing the Glen Miller tunes.
I will watch again and urge everyone who's not seen it to do so

do so as so.
I don't know why I don't remember VE Day but VJ Day remains vivid as does the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Oh knowing that I shoulda known,, I never did guess the identity of “Jerry”.

Who Pays Tariffs?

Interesting that in lieu of paying a ridiculous $615 for two nights at a hotel, I've surrendered 120,000 credit card "points". That's a real saving. I'll still have to pay $80 to park the car.

Not a fan of baseball but an admirer of Willie Mays, the man and the athlete.
He's also the victim of the shameful discrimination that existed in San Francisco. Protesters met his moving to our West Portal neighborhood.

BAD MOON RISEN
As lovely as it is to see a colorful moonrise, it ain't pretty when it's not white when overhead last night. There must be very big fires not very far away.

Hummm, something's wrong with the clock. Hummm, the drapes were white when I went to bed. How'd they get to be orange? I looked outside to see the street and vehicle lights lit and no sign of the sun that should have been casting short shadows.

I think I'll become a regular at #MissionCitySwing at #TheRussianCenter. That many of the beginners are very young is hopeful for the expansion and continuation of California's State Dance.
Half of the nearby restaurants close too early to patronize. The other 2 are just fine.
