Swapping licenses from NYC to California, the DMV sprung a pop quiz on us. Failed the first try, got 100% on the second. If you’ve taken this impossible test recently, you’ll appreciate my pride.

Well, okay, not actually ten bucks, but certainly very opulent company. Plus a twinkling view of Golden Gate Bridge on the long stroll home to (watch) 42nd Street. You’re getting to be a habit with me…

El farol de los enamorados! Took a break from the book to make Mexican chocolate cupcakes for my chosen brother, who finally joined the 40-club. (Lotería cards designed in 1887 by Don Clemente aka Clemente Jacques aka Pasatiempos Gallo, S.A. de C.V. A lovely alternate deck of his can be found here.)

Sutro’s Dolce Far Niente (sweet to do nothing) balcony in the 1920s. Below the view now, and Diana from Cocteau’s La Belle et La Bête. “And then the moon, like to a silver bow new bent in Heaven.”
