A quiet moment
The midday sun streams into our suite at Hotel Drisco in San Francisco. After yesterday’s landmark walk, I worked out for 45 minutes at UCSF’s Millberry Center this morning, and returned to our room to find this charming display of light and shadow. Another very pretty - and warm - day in San Francisco…
Beautiful day in San Francisco
Here’s Twin Peaks as seen from Hotel Drisco in the Pacific Heights section of San Francisco. After chemo at Mt. Zion Cancer Center this morning, I walked 14 blocks to lunch at Vivande, on Fillmore, with Linda and friend and former classmate Dr. Stuart Rosenberg. The walk, which took an hour and ten minutes and […]

“Thought you might enjoy the view from our back deck overlooking a parking lot and the Hudson Palisades from the village of Hastings-on-Hudson, NY. ”
The second weather report from a former classmate: I hereby invite all former classmates to forward their weather in words and pictures…
Computers for the Cloud
We have long wished for a ‘Cloud Computer’, an inexpensive device that would allow us easily to connect to the web and email. Together with Google Apps (and some installed software for occasions where connectivity or other issues come up) one might not need anything else to be productive and connected.
The computer […]
Wintery day
View from my front porch this afternoon… a gray and wintry day. We couldn’t see the Lunar eclipse last night: it was too cloudy here… but clear in San Francisco…
BBC ceases shortwave service
The BBC has stopped broadcasting to Europe on shortwave, as listeners switch to FM, satellite radio and online delivery. As a boy and young man I used to love trolling the shortwave frequencies on a string of various shortwave sets, starting with a home-made crystal reciever and ending with a (now 20-year-old) sophisticated (for its […]
