I haven't been posting much lately, perhaps nothing much has been happening. But wait, it has been a great time for music - there was a solo Elvis Costello concert last week in Davis, then a not quite solo Mark Knopfler concert on Tuesday in Oakland. Both of which were excellent and great opportunities to see folks I had admired but had never seen live before. To top if off the Mark Knopfler concert was at the Paramount in Oakland - a truly remarkable art-deco theatre dating from the 1930's. Why can't we build places like that any more? OK, I know the answer, or one of the answers - because we all want to sit at home watching things on our home theater systems - but I am afraid that is our loss and it's worse for me - I don't even have a home theater system.
Anyway, I though I would also point out a couple of blogs I have been enjoying lately. The first is Bike Snob NYC - a very funny guy that writes about all things bicycle related and a whole lot more. Then there is The Inexplicable World of Outa Space Man, a blogger from the old country, whose post today was quite moving. Enjoy.
