Retirement Countdown 2025

AIDS Walk San Francisco beneficiaries 2018 I've been part of this event for a number of years and find this to be one of the most satisfying personal causes in which I've participated in. I hope you will join me on this continued journey in supporting me by making a donation here to AIDS Walk San Francisco. AIDS Walk San Francisco recognizes that no one organization can meet all the needs of people living with HIV/AIDS. That is why the event emphasizes not one voice, but many voices; not just services in one city; but rather the Bay Area-wide effort to bring this epidemic to an end. In my blog, I appreciate your support, and hope you are able to join us at Golden Gate Park for the Walk on Sunday, July 15.  Mahalo!

One week ago today, our boxer, Jack died during a Sunday morning walk around the neighborhood. I knew he wasn't well in the last couple of years, but did't want to admit that he was getting old and his health was failing. The gregarious and easy going Jack smelled everything along the way. That is how dogs usually see their world, by their sense of smell. His death was sudden and quick, his heart failed. He collapsed and his paws were sprawled on the pavement. I quickly held him up to try to revive him at the same time calling my partner to come over and help me. But sadly, the remaining minutes we tried to save him ultimately turned to comforting and looking at him with compassion until he took his last breath. It was devastating. I cried and cried. We lost someone who was part of our family, our life for almost 10 years.   So, today, I'm celebrating his life and sharing his image to remember that he wasn't just a dog but an amazing addition to the fa...

1 package of lasagna noodles 1 bag of spinach leaves (I used baby spinach) 1 jar of spaghetti sauce-tomato and basil is good 3 cups (or so) of shredded mozzarella 1 little container of Ricotta 1 bunch of fresh basil a bit of thyme Preheat oven to 350°. Cover the bottom of a lasagna pan (I use a glass pyrex one) with a spaghetti sauce. Layer the dried lasagna noodles horizontally to cover the bottom. I end up having to lay one vertically to fill the space. You may have to break the noodles to fill in the gaps. Put teaspoon sized dots of ricotta on the dried noodles. (Just put them in a haphazard manner). Scatter some mozzarella on top of that. Put a layer the spinach on top. Mix the sauce with fresh basil and thyme. Drizzle 1/3 of the sauce on top of that layer. Don’t worry if it looks too dry. It will get moist. Layer the dried noodles again. I change the direction of where I put the vertical noodle. Follow again. You may end...
