At Maddy's suggestion, I have named my cacti Guinevere and Winona. Sorry Al, but they're my cacti, not yours.
I went on a few small expeditions this week, one to the Mission, one to the Sunset and one to the Richmond.

The fire alarm went off at school on Thursday night. There were only a dozen or so kids in the building and we all filed out dutifully. Two fire trucks came and the firemen swaggered inside, laughing. They were not in there for very long. We were not sure if there was a real fire or if someone just thought it would be funny to pull the fire alarm. There were two trombonists who began practicing excerpts together outside. It was a surreal sight, trombone excerpts on the sidewalk, under the inky sky and the edgy breeze, their reverb bouncing off the buildings across the street. They started on Ride of the Valkyries as the trucks pulled away, which was fitting. One of them played a wrong note on the first try and the other stopped and berated him: "It's in major, you idiot!!"
