Beatle by the Bay

We did not intend to go to the concert last Saturday night. We didn’t even remember that Paul McCartney was playing until someone reminded us. But we live just a few blocks from AT&T Park, so we walked over there Saturday afternoon to see all the setup activities.

At 1:00 the t-shirt vendors were already doing business, and people were starting to mill about the stadium. We also heard the band warming up, and they were playing Let It Be. Let It Be! By the Beatles!

I’ve never been a big Beatles fan, but their songs are permanently interwoven into the fabric of my life. My older brother was a huge fan and had all their albums when we were growing up in the 70’s. Truth be told, I was a little frightened as a young teen by some of their more psychedelic songs, like I Am the Walrus. But I love some of their gentler songs, like Golden Slumbers, and one of the most beautiful songs ever written, Yesterday.

Pride Not Prejudice

I moved to San Francisco a few months ago. Today I went to the San Francisco Pride parade. It opened up my eyes to a lot of things.

First, San Franciscans really know how to party!
