Poem about Zinfandel at the Wine Bar on Grant St., San Francisco.

Zinfandel, a fine wine….especially when grown in Alexander Valley, CA.

The poem reads:

I’m the diva in the bottle

Never whimpy, never faint

I’m the zeal in zydaco music

The light in Van Gogh’s paine

I’m an orchid

I’m a spell

I’m the bramble in the dell

I’m impulsive

Yet serene

The once and future queen

I’m a wild thing

Ooh-la-la

I’m inspiration for Syrrah

I can be gracious

In the nude

Depending on my mood

I can be romantic

With a steak

On a blanket by the lake

Or I can be leggy

At a bar

When a cigar isn’t just a cigar

San Francisco’s Imperial Fleet Week

Fleet Week has always been one of my favorite times of the year to be in San Francisco.  Always loved those Friday afternoon fly-bys, seeing those Blue Angels skim skyscrapers and slip beneth the Golden Gate Bridge.

I remember one time shakin’ my groove thing at Golden Gate Park as the Blue Angels screamed overhead along the Ocen Beach coast line — mix of hippy tunes and thunderous military might.

When my boy was just five months old, I stuffed him into the kangaroo pouch and stepped up to Coit Tower.  He was born wide-eyed, and on that day he really did try to train his little eyes on aircraft speeding mightily above us.

But this year was a whole new, Imperial Fleet Week experience! Thanks for my Intel buddy Jeff for sharing this with me, replying to my Fleet Week Twitters.

Hey, it’s Thomas! — San Francisco Sighting

San Francisco March 2008, originally uploaded by KenEKaplan.

Windmill at the foot of Ocean Beach in Golden Gate Park. My nephew saw it first: “Thomas!” Like Thomas the train cartoon. He has looked at the photo for almost two hours already, and counting. He calls this “the BIG one.”

This was taken during a ride through San Francisco with our family from Italy visiting us in the Bay Area.
