Finally, after months of learning which color means what: When we can go back inside for dinner? How many people from how many households can sit a table outside? How many people can safely go into Pacific Bell Park (Oracle Park to you newbies) for Opening Day baseball?– the time has come for San Francisco […]
San Francisco recently released its guide to safe sex during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The City has a list of suggestions including “maybe you’d like to watch” and “quicker can be better.” The guide includes a risk chart that provides the relative safety of various things with virtual sex, masturbation, watching porn and outdoor sex at […]

According to the United States Postal Service, 5,714 postal employees were “victimized” by dogs in 2018. The […]
Truth be told, for the last gazillion years I’ve regarded myself as more of a Fort Funston pet parent than a McLaren Park pet parent. More about why I adore Fort Funston in a later blog. But in the last month or so, as my desperation for anything new after 11 months of Shelter in […]
I was reading an article in the Harvard Business Review (yup, nerd alert is going off now) titled When to Work with Rivals.
