I was going to tell you all about how I was driving home one night and turned the corner to find a guy trying to push his car out of the road and up the inclined driveway. I pulled Myrtle over, hopped out and ran as fast as I could in four-inch heels. By the [...]

Home again
I managed to get into San Francisco. The flight was delayed by an hour because of bad weather in Boston, but I didn’t care because I’m already late getting home and I ran into my friend, Ken (thanks for getting that stupid Barbie song stuck in my head), who also happened to be on my [...]

Errand success!
First stop was the bookstore. She wasn't busy being a 10 am on a Friday morning, so she said she would take a look through all my books. I managed to score $58 in store credit and then spent $33. Next stop, Goodwill. This was my big win for the day. Before going, I made [...]

Calistoga
In the 100˚ weather, Myrtle and I drove up past Calistoga, to the family ranch of a friend. There, I had to drive Myrtle down a ranch road, past a vineyard, and over a small creek. This got me to a reservoir in the shadow of Mount Saint Helena, which is a mountain made of [...]

√ Fab weekend
Meme, Omar and I went to the rainforest today at Cal Academy of Sciences. Saw frogs, and snakes, and butterflies. Put the top down on the convertible and drove down Geary to the ocean. Finished the day at the Cliff House, drinking cocktails and watching the sunset. Much thanks to Omar for entertaining Meme while [...]

Bought paint for my kitchen and fondled the magnificent materials at Greenspace. We went to the light house to walk the [...]

Karmann Ghia
Myrtle and I are still fighting, but not like we were earlier. She is pissed at me because she got a bath yesterday and today I threw in some grass covered golf clubs and a pull cart. Oops. So to get back at me, I received a letter from VW today that there is a [...]

The battle continues
For lunch, R-zilla and I went to visit the little red Boxster. I needed a second opinion. R-zilla said no. I was surprised. I was certain he would tell me to go for it. But the more I looked at the car the more I wondered why I'd trade my car for one twice its [...]

Myrtle and I are fighting
Myrtle has been acting up. Her driver’s side window rattles in the door. There is some clanking sound underneath. The whole incident with the airbags. She has been pissing me off. So I took her to a used car dealership and threatened to trade her in for a Porsche Boxster Convertible. And I took photos. [...]

My life is (not) miserable
We all have those days, or weeks, or months where we are just down. Depressed even. And it is hard to get out of that feeling. I’ve been depressed for a month or so now. Maybe longer. I’ve tried not to let it interfere with every day life, but I’ve just been down. I’ve been [...]
