“Yours Is Another Path”
“Yours is another path”, the elder said to Red Harvest. Commencements and Grade Promotions aplenty this week, next.

Touring SF
Stuck in traffic, unexpectedly, GPS guided tour of San Francisco, many streets I have not been on before.

My son, a good eater when he finds things he likes, takes to it, then it’s all in for that stuff, that flavor. Maybe we’re all the same? Some more picky than others, I suppose… The particular tasty of late? Street taco with melted Parmesan, meat, chopped white onion, and cilantro … He ate eight …
All About Love
After a rather contentious day recently with my son, he said toward the end of evening while we were talking, conflicts having all settled, “You’re all about love, dad…that’s what you talk about…”, and I thought, “Thank goodness that’s what he thinks, that even after a day with repeated conflict, that’s what came to his …
