Our sweet whippet Cricket passed away a year ago, so now I have the best whippet ever… and the best greyhound puppy (adopted from Greyhound Friends for Life ❤️) ever!

Rode my bike through the Panhandle, along JFK Promenade and through the park to Sunset Dunes at sunset. Gorgeous night. Skaters skating, a DJ spinning mellow sunset beats. So many people out in all the parks.

A beautiful celebration of recent victories in the war on cars, SF front. 14 fun miles.
An open, heart-shaped sculpture through which you can see people walking along Sunset Dunes Park (formerly Great Highway, now a much greater recreation area) and beyond ocean beach and the pacific ocean just a few minutes after sunset.

What the what? The MBE will no longer be available? That was the hard part! #BarExam
The Committee of Bar Examiners (CBE) and the State Bar Board of Trustees will consider many factors when providing their recommendations to the Supreme Court. By July 2028, we must change the bar exam we are currently administering. Continuing with the exam we deliver today-the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), 200 multiple- choice questions developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners; 5 California essays; and 1 California performance task—will not be an option as the MBE will no longer be available.

At almost 10, Enzo has seen us take many vacations, but we’ve only BOTH left Comet once, last year, when she was only 6 months old, so I’m not sure she remembers.

Comet was BESIDE HERSELF with joy when we got home yesterday (Enzo was also very happy!). Watch for when she knocks me over 🤣 (I was still wearing my huge travel backpack)

Tom Lehrer made all of his music 100% public domain so if seeing people sad about his death makes you want to check them out… it’s free. he wanted you to share them.
