running, dashing, darting, fixing, calling, typing, buying, meeting. and so on.
first of all facebook is a real timesuck. anyone who is on already knows that. so i sometimes forget that some are not connected in that way and i need to create more reflective pieces here on the blog.
today was Pride Shabbat at Temple Emanu-El. things went well. not as large a turnout as i had hoped but that's the way it goes. it's a busy weekend, lots of graduations, etc. lunch after was fun, then i went down to Discovery Meadow (i think that's what it's called) for the Family Festival. they charge admission tomorrow and i don't need to hear the louder music than today. in comparison to SF or Santa Cruz (never been but assume it's good), Boston, Long Beach...ANYWHERE... San Jose is really puny. the jewish contingent will be in the parade tomorrow. the parade is about half an hour. not sure if it is because we are so close to SF and so much more energy goes there... oh well.
what that will do, however, is make it possible for me to return home and continue the work around the house... laundry, floors, etc. i've begun packing for the israel trip, july 1-20. even have my plane ticket. woo hoo. because next weekend, after seeing the silicon valley gay men's chorus perform on friday night with Kinsey Sicks (they do rate first letter capitals!) i head down to santa monica again.
i hope the alignment in my spine is holding. i have an appt with julie the most amazing chiropractor on tuesday. i've had some tingling in the arm. not sure if that is a good thing or not. her suggestion: no heavy lifting, pushing, etc. til she can see what is going on. already most likely one couple is pulling out of the trip because we think he had a disc rupture. ow. major ow with lots of colorful words spraying out.
there is so much to do, here at home and at work, in the next two weeks. it will get done, somehow.
ahah almost forgot. last night i saw Tim Lincecum (also rates capital letters) win his 2nd no-hitter. thanks, Linda F. for inviting me. Lincecum is amazing to watch. only 23. and his hit played a crucial role in the 3-run giant 5th inning. very fast game. he threw only 110 pitches. amazing. lots of fun. except getting lost in hunters point on the way home was less than exciting. i promise never to do that again. i did make it home safely. that's what's important.
there is a new fence in the backyard. almost completely done. ketzl has had a great time climbing the old wood stacked on the driveway. he is part mountain goat, i think. tonight there is a cat outside in the back. ketzl is racing around to different windows trying to see who it is. and it's almost apricot season. i had 3 as appetizers before heading out to pho. yum. yum.
so tomorrow is another early morning. i hope i can avoid the 1 AM bedtimes which have been the norm this week, for some unknown reason. it doesn't really matter whether or not i set the alarm. ketzl wakes me up by 6:30 at the latest. tho of course he usually chooses as the day he will sleep in the one day when i have to be up early. murphy's law holds.
