Driving home from the East Bay this past Saturday night, we rolled up to the scene of an accident on Industrial Blvd. in Hayward near the on-ramp to Highway 92. In addition to the crumpled-up car on the side of the road, there were at least two police cruisers blocking the street, lots of flares [...]

We’re Bringing Sexy Back

I have always considered myself to be more than a little bit nerdy when it comes to the things in life that I enjoy. For example, I like to read comic books, watch science fiction movies, and listen to Barry Manilow.

The title of this entry was supposed to be Why Not. Because of an off-the-chain Saturday that included a reunion with a friend I hadn’t seen in over twenty years and a super-yum dinner that was followed by another personal healing session at Thai Time, I was all geeked up to write about a new [...]

There was the time when I ran out of gas in my 71 Camaro on the Bay Bridge with [...]
First Day of School

Yesterday was the first day of school at La Entrada.
In purely stereotypical terms, the first day of school means different things to different people. Students, for example, may verbally lament the fact that the summer’s over as they cheerfully interact with their fellow students and teachers. On the other hand, teachers may verbally lament the [...]

On our first day at Disneyland, someone stole our brand new stroller.
Actually, that statement isn’t exactly accurate. Let me try again.
Before we even left the hotel for our first day at Disneyland, someone stole our brand new stroller.
Here’s how it all went down:
Because the four of us overslept a bit, we didn’t make it down [...]
