halloween

in this city, it isn't always possible to tell who's in costume, but since today is halloween, we're making certain assumptions.

first party i've ever attended

at which the guest of honor was an earthquake. today is the 20th anniversary of the loma prieta earthquake which did spectacular damage to san francisco, especially the marina district, where i now live. the firemen roped off one block to give an impromptu party, but i think there should be parties every day to honor these brave and compassionate people who give so much to so many.

grand slam. this child repeatedly opened the newspaper machine and slammed it for at least 20 minutes before an adult claimed him. i hung around to make sure he didn't decide to chase cars or something, but his dedication to the task at hand never wavered.
