I forgot to mention, we went to watch a musical called Wicked a week back, at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco.
The story is a prequel to the Wizard of Oz. The show was soul freeing, exuberant, funny, musically horripilating, a case for jumping ovation. Highly recommended.
Things I’d like to know:
1. How to start a car without using a key.
Breaking into a car by smashing its window, this I know how. Car windows don’t break that easily, even with a baseball bat. But put a few spare change into a plastic bag, twist the bag, spin it around and hit the […]
A friend gave me news of a fir tree growning inside a Russian man’s lungs.
This was on the news, watch it, it’s incredible!
The 28 year old man was coughing blood. They took an xray and found inside his lungs, not a tumor but a growing fir tree.
Not yet known how it got there, but make […]

So here goes the binge, 4 for now, and more tomorrow.
Evan introduced me to her art.
This photo below is from her series of ‘Imagine Finding Me, double self portraits’ . Hope you enjoy.

She wore thick glasses this night, not her usual contact lenses. She looked up to the sky, huddled in warm blankets, and, for the first time, saw […]
Our bass player’s daughter took me to her room.
She handed me a small clear plastic box with 5 jumping beans inside. They crackled and popped, hitting the plastic walls, and every once in a while the box jumped along with a fairly powerful pop.
“Don’t they keep you awake at night?” I asked.
“No, they only jump […]
Paul was smiling when he came back from the corner store.
“Look at this boy” he showed me a photo.
The boy was excited to receive customers all by himself.
He knew the price of the RedBull even before Paul reached the cashier.
He saw Paul’s iPhone. “Can I play with it?” he asked, so they took photos and pressed […]
