Travel, Food & Baseball
We go to see the Oakland A’s play most every year. We drive to the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) train, and take it to the Coliseum. The ride is pretty nice, and it’s a lot cleaner than the New York subway, although I have good memories of riding the IRT to Manhattan in my…

My Current Reads
Hi Folks, At the moment I’m reading two books: Star Trek Mere Anarchy and John Lescroart’s Damage. ‘Anarchy is a six-part saga by such authors as Mike W Barr, Christopher L. Bennett, and Margaret Wander Bonanno, to name a few. A civilization that Starfleet is reluctant to alter by intervening is facing destruction from a…

Writing in Cafés
So, I was meeting a friend to hang out over drinks and got there a little early. He texted me he was running late. I figured I’d sit alone at the café, and do some writing. I got a delicious milk tea with black leaves, and no pearls, on ice, in a big glass mug…
