Food bank, food delivery – unit 305!
I signed up to deliver grocery bags to Food Bank clients in San Francisco. My friend and I both signed up. I was the driver and she was the rider which actually means way more than it sounds. I’d drive to the location, and she’d pick the really heavy bag, and walks...
Happy Birthday To Me. Again!!

The SF Bucket Lister’s Club Meetup was originally scheduled for yesterday but I (with few others) decided no one would show up on election night. So, I rescheduled for tonight. Here I am, in La Promenade coffee shop with my red “Meetup” bag. I use it to carry the...
