On Sunday night we went to see Pod Save America, a wonderful evening of political analysis, humor, and clever insight, at the beautifully restored Fox Theater In Oakland. Special guests: our Congresswoman Barbara Lee, and our Assemblywoman, Buffy Wicks. Outstanding!

Live jazz! What a treat to see Stanley Clarke and his band at Yoshi’s in Oakland last night! The last performer we saw play there was Leo Kottke, a day before the shut down for the pandemic. So nice to be able to get out again!

FINDING GEORGE WASHINGTON
A Time Travel Tale by BILL ZARCHY

The story:
George Washington vanishes. Walking away from the Valley Forge encampment, he takes a fall and is knocked unconscious, only to reappear at a dog park on San Francisco Bay—in the summer of 2014.
Washington befriends two Berkeley twenty-somethings who help him cope with the astonishing—and often comical—surprises of the twenty-first century.
Washington’s absence from Valley Forge, however, is not without serious consequences. As the world rapidly devolves around them—and their beloved Giants fight to salvage a disappointing season—George, Tim, and Matt are catapulted on a race across America to find a way to get George back to 1778.

We’ve kept in close touch remotely with our kids and grand dogs during the pandemic. Many hours on zoom and FaceTime. But this is the first time in over a year that we’ve all been in the same place at the same time. We are here together to celebrate Danny’s birthday and Mother’s Day. What fun!

I really enjoyed reading Bonnie MacBird’s novel, Unquiet Spirits, the second in her series of four Sherlock Holmes adventures. A complex plot, a flock of unforgettable characters, and fine attention to detail all support her brilliant efforts to replicate the milieu and feel of Conan Doyle’s famous detective. Scenes in and around an old Scottish castle in the winter add to the moodiness and sense of foreboding. Well done!

On a freezing night in 1778, General George Washington vanishes. Walking away from the Valley Forge encampment, he takes a fall and is knocked unconscious, only to reappear at a dog park on San Francisco Bay—in the summer of 2014. Washington befriends two Berkeley twenty-somethings who help him cope with the astonishing—and often comical—surprises of the twenty-first century.

Washington’s absence from Valley Forge, however, is not without serious consequences. As the world rapidly devolves around them—and their beloved Giants fight to salvage a disappointing season—George, Tim, and Matt are catapulted on a race across America to find a way to get George back to 1778.

Equal parts time travel tale, thriller, and baseball saga, Finding George Washington is a gripping, humorous, and entertaining look at what happens when past and present collide in the 9th inning, with the bases loaded and no one warming up in the bullpen.

We celebrated Susan’s birthday last night here on California’s north coast. But … what’s wrong with this picture?
1. The candles I brought from home are unlit. I don’t carry a lighter, because I no longer inhale burning things. And the house where we’re staying has an all electric kitchen. No open flames. No matches. Go figure.
2. Susan’s birthday is actually tmw! But we both desperately needed chocolate. Couldn’t wait.
