The fantabulous Schmutzie has beaten me to the punch and posted links to all the posts that were read at the BlogHer community keynote last Saturday. These posts represent why blogging is so wonderful– honesty, humor, varieties of experiences laid out for judgment– and being in that audience, trying to give back some of the [...]

258 photos at the Ferry Farmer’s Market– less fattening than Cowgirl Creamery Cheese.

The Ferry Farmer’s Market: like heaven, just foggier.

BLC (out loud): (To guy nearly kneecapping me with his cane) Hey, watch it!
BLC (internally): Oh, shit. Another blind guy.

Dear Redwood Bank at 241 California Street, San Francisco:
I cannot believe your ATM machine ate my ATM card. And that I chose to use my ATM in a far-away-from-my-house-city in a local bank, that isn’t open on Saturdays, in order to get my card back. I also can’t believe you can’t release my [...]

Never let them say women don’t dress for each other. They do. Significant others of either sex have nothing to do with it. It’s about friendship, and platonic crushes, and admiration, and awe, and just a little envy. It’s a desire to shine for people who might, just might, like us, if we do everything [...]

I am so looking forward to going to BlogHer in July. And I may also go to the one here in Boston (and also, even if I don’t, I may host a few people here if they’re coming in from out of town). But what with the being out of a full-time paycheck until last [...]

I needed some wandering-around time after work today, before I caught the subway home, and was quickly reminded why working nowhere near a shoe store has been a good idea. Maybe if I think of it as a shoe museum, where I can try on the art, I’ll be less tempted to buy. [...]
