Off to France
We’ve been a bit busier - and less attentive to the blog - than usual, owing to the upcoming trip. We’re off to Montpont-en-Bresse, a small village in southern Burgundy, where Linda’s rented a nicely restored water mill house. The object of the trip is to spend 10 days mostly living French country village life […]
Working on our look and feel
So, as you may be seeing, we’re working on the theme for our WordPress blog. WordPress makes it very easy to change themes, but I haven’t found a way to park the new theme on another URL while I twiddle with it.
Just made our first (successful) fix to this, the Modernpaper Theme. Coming up (we […]
Conflicted about the Pope, circumnavigating MP, a Linux mini-laptop
The Pope has expressed some admirable sentiments since arriving in the U.S., but there’s one phrase I have a problem with. Commenting on faith in a secular democracy, he said ‘faith is not a private matter,’ suggesting, I am guessing, it should be enforced, presumably by the Church. Judging by some of his previous comments, […]
The to-do list
On today’s to-do list: shop for a new WordPress template for gulker.com (!) We need a way to better handle the short-post format.
The Pope, in Washington, called for “Americans and their leaders… to base their political and social decisions on moral principles and create a more just society. ”

Tuesday musings
Mike Spillane’s passing leaves me very sad, but to be true to his spirit, life, and the blog, must go on. Thusly:
The Pope is visiting the U.S. this week, and I am very interested in learning more about this man and his ideas. I have been a little leery of Benedict, given some of […]
A day in the city
Our day started with the usual Wednesday Caltrain/Muni journey to UCSF: there was a bit of added interest when the N Judah streetcar was halted for 15 minutes near the Bay Bridge and we glimpsed a group of pro-Tibet would-be torch watchers, seen above. We were late for our 90-minute physical rehab session, but very […]
A better lede photo
Linda thinks this photo should have topped the blog today. This guy looked pretty happy in the tall green grass…

Formatting: I think I liked the old gulker.com fomat wher the heading was a date, and I could tuck a bunch of smaller or larger posts underneath it. Writing a headline for each post seems to hog more space somehow - anyway, here’s a trial run…
Our new patio has just been glorious the past couple […]
Blogging: from bakery to bedroom
This post, unlike yesterday’s iPhone-mediated offering, is coming from a laptop, wirelessly connected from my bedroom where I’m preparing to take a nap. My recent strength gains are such that I can sit up in bed again, to read or noodle with a portable computer…
Blogging from the iPhone
We’re sitting in the Boulanger Bakery in downtown Menlo Park, blogging on our iPhone, courtesy of their free WiFi. The couple across from me are busy, too: she on her MacBook Air, he on his iPhone. Blogging is possible from Safari on iPhone, as is email, if not particularly easy…
[Addendum from home Mac: I couldn’t […]
