- The holidays are a good time to recall shared journeys in one's life and therefore also a good time to resume the presentation of Visionary Vibes, Letters from the Soul here at Red Room. If you missed the last installment of Letters from the Soul Number 6 please click this link or to start at the beginning click here . Also, I perhaps should point out that the language gets a bit rough in ...

- In the last few decades, airports have styled themselves as great places for art exhibits. After all, thousands of travelers pass through airports. They are often a captive audience. And airports are large civic places begging for both beautification and intellectual stimulation. I mean, how much CNN can one person watch, right?To read more about Art in Airports and to see what I found ...

- I should have known it was going to be bad day when the traffic reporter on KQED radio said there was still a problem on the N line after telling us about an as-yet undiagnosed problem on the L line. San Francisco’s mass transit system (MUNI) of buses, light rail, trolleys, cable cars, carrier pigeons, sleds, and roller blades always has its problems, but it usually doesn’t make the traffic ...

According to my mother, every day is children’s day even when your children are adults. So Mom, where’s my daily present? Hands down my favorite is November 7, National Bookstore Day.

- Halloween is a national holiday here in San Francisco. This isn’t simply because people get to dress in sexy costumes borrowed from their wives’ closets or purchased at one of our local leather emporiums. Yes, it is a time when people get to come out of their shell and walk around the streets of a major city expressing their inner slut, but there is more to it than that. It’s really about ...

- It has been a very, very long time (four months) since I wrote about the assault of the pigeons on the West coast of this great land, and in particular on the light well outside my kitchen, and no doubt many of you have wondered about the status of this epic battle for the soul of America.
