We Need A Festival of Lights Everywhere and mostly in San Francisco

Published by

Feeling the need for visual therapy this morning, after scrolling through article after article about the Paris attacks and what we should and shouldn’t do. The idea of it all mentally draining, when thinking about it in dept. I decided I needed some lights, or fireworks or anything to do with happy thoughts to ease some of the anxiety starting to build up about the word around us.  The Berlin Festival of Lights which happened in October came to mind, admiring many of the Instagram photos and not saved online for our viewing pleasure.

In Case You Are Not A Fan of American Football

If you are like me, some weekends, you just don’t want to watch football, or the games are so boring you find yourself surfing the net, just because. That’s of course between munching all day long, sitting hunched over your laptop or something like that.

Travel: The World and If Not Then Italy

Published by

Year in and year out, I do my best not to include Italy in my annual trip to Europe because I think I’ve seen it all. But I fail miserably, finding a new tiny village to see, recreating a travel plan including this fascinating country. With that said, I have included some of my favorite articles from around the world, in travel that is. {click here for The American}

Not So Old-Fashioned Christmas in San Francisco

Last week I made my way to Union Square to meet with a friend for lunch somewhere in the vicinity. And along the way I felt the need to  journal the following: All these years I had no idea the tree in union square was artificial. I think in my childhood days it was a real tree I vaguely recall being delivered on a bed of a truck from Oregon or… maybe I am wrong. My favorite word, luring me as always into Macy. I think it all started with the Macy shopping bags, on it stamped the word Believe. Now its a full-blown sign displayed in the window. Naturally I had to walk into the store. And see what was on the other side of the sign. The traditional Santa mailbox is what I found. A reflection of my childhood days or even as a grown up writing a letter to Santa.
