Paralympics 2012
The paralympic games give us a rare chance to engage with and cheer on the disabled without pretense.
Our awkwardness or our silly fears of saying or doing the wrong thing disappear for a euphoric couple of weeks. I wish there was a way to make this a less than 4 year occurrence.

Gotta love San Francisco
When does a behavior become a habit?
Excellent podcast on Charles Duhigg’s “Power of Habit” book.

obliviou$
Has anyone else noticed that some rich people (not all thankfully) live in a rather ignorant bubble where they assume everyone around them has the same level of wealth and access they do? When I see it it makes my blood boil. So I have decided to start a new category and twitter hashtag #Obliviou$
Example from today:
Monied older woman dripping with jewels asking the 21 year old flight attendant “how far is to the XXXX Resort (5 stars) when we land in Aspen.” Not remotely embarrassed by his head down, quietly murmured, ‘no.’
Keeping parking meters warm
Some mystery crochet fiend is clearly concerned about the well-being of sf parking meters.
International roaming
Sounds very indulgent and something you should be punished for. Which AT+T is more than happy to do.
“Unremarkable”
The only time one is happy to hear the word “unremarkable” is when the Dr says it in relation to looking at your MRI.
Phew.
Crescent sun
Something so very mystical about spheres aligning. It was wonderful to take a pause and watch the moon cross the sun this Sunday.

Driveways are a mental sorbet from the outside world. The longer the hotel driveway the more pampered you feel. One day I want a house with a long driveway.
