Saturday: afternoon with "brother outlaw" Eric....warm night w/cats

My brother Kevin's wife is Lauren Doran. Her brother is Eric Brizee.

I heard tales of "Eric in San Francisco." I knew Eric did something interesting in The Arts. Maybe worked in a museum. Maybe an actor or a cabaret performer. Or sings? Turns out, he does all of the above. His day job is director of operations at the Museum of Performance and Design, whose rock n roll exhibition I'm champing at the bit to see!

So, Eric and I met at Kevin/Lauren's wedding, over 30 years ago. Then at Kevin/Lauren's daughter's wedding in 2004.  A couple of other times. Always liked Eric.

Since Eric lives in San Francisco we got to hang out yesterday. Eric offered to show me different neighborhoods. THEN because it was what San Franciscans consider a "rare summer day," Eric took me to the Ocean Beach to be baptised in the Pacific!

We're not brother- and sister-in-law because it's our siblings who are married to each other. So Eric came up with brother- and sister-outlaw!

When I got home there was a parrot outside the window teasing the cats.

Went to the corner store and bought lettuce so fresh it fairly squeaked.and just looked at some strange fruits...

 Then made yellow curry chicken on bed of avocado & lettuce.

After dinner, sun went down, moon came up, still lovely out...warm nights rare for San Francisco.

THEN....found more RAT poison in the diningroom. Don't really want to get into it right now.

Suffice to say, it was horribly upsetting. Not only was this pile found, but a huge cache of other rat poison under this piece of furniture, as well as an entire other box of poison. All of which I had to clean up. A waking nightmare.

I am considering leaving this house -- looking for another place to live.

The owners of this place are sending someone to clean the house.

Don't wish to write more about this at this time.

The cats see, fine. Grateful for all.
And otherwise life is truly sweet.
