As some of us begin to see our communities re-re-re-open this COVID-19 season, let us remember that one person’s moment of quote-unquote freedom almost 11 months into our ongoing global pandemic is barely another’s second-wave cuarentena. Four hundred forty-two thousand Americans have died from this ever-evolving pest, OK, of course to say nothing of the […]

We Must Adapt
For the past month, we have had some weather up here in Northern California. The smoke plus the fog in the Bay Area has been a realness. It is not pleasant. I am beyond-grateful to be safely sheltered with my family, and to want for almost nothing. I understand Cal Fire has dubbed the Northern […]
Pandemic Peeps: Paul Clemence
Knock, knock. Who’s there? Month 5. Month 5 who? Yeah, y’ know…Month 5 (dude) of the COVID-19 global pandemic and – shudder – of this generalized global shutdown that has ensued and that stubbornly won’t let up unless we all wear our masks, already, and we all make ourselves scarce so that we are not […]

Going Live at 5…01s
Levi’s is going live at 5:01, California time, this afternoon. The San Francisco-based company is launching 5:01 Live today, in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. I’m not at liberty to say who’s lined up to perform this week, but when you see them, you just might drop it like it’s hot with excitement. You might call […]
Nuance
Argh…the things you hear Brian Williams say on the cable news, when you do plug back in, as I did a couple of nights ago. Ha. Haha. You guys. Don’t think only about the “economic hit” of things this COVID-19 season, please. Our connectivity, if not our humanity, is being challenged and showcased here – one […]
It Is a Pandemic
Not a pandemonium. This season of the COVID-19 pandemic, please, remember the Golden Rule.
