Ohhhhhh Nooooooo!


Please tell me it's not true! As if it is not bad enough that MAD TV just aired its' final episode this last Saturday night, I just received insider info that my favorite SF radio station has been sold, and a format change is most certainly on the way! I love everythings about this station - the music, the djs, the ENERGY. For me, it is all about the BPMs (beats per minute), which massage my brain, especially in traffic when I'm verging on going postal. Windows down, volume up ... not a care in the world. I was told the new format is going to feature mullet-spawn "It's Miley".

Now all I have left is The Soup!

My golden guy


 Do you have a favorite spot? I have a few and probably my favorite is the setting for this marvelous golden guy - the statue of Prometheus hovering over the Ice Skating Rink at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. The gilded bronze statue, the work of Paul Manship, was commissioned by John D. Rockefeller in 1933. Prometheus holds fire in his right hand, which he stole from Zeus to give to mankind. The statue is most beautiful when it is towered over by the annual Christmas tree.

For my dearest Shingi

Though your arms are empty,
Though the room is still …
You are a mother.

Though here too soon,
Though gone from sight …
You are a mother.

Though your heart is broken,
Though the tears won’t stop …
You are a mother.

Rejoice today,
Rejoice tomorrow,
Rejoice forever …

For you are a mother.

Dedicated to my granddaughter in heaven, Angel Chunga
