At Alembic bar in SF their happy hour cocktail this week is a Strawberry Rhubarb Gimlet, and it's so tasty. Also had Raspberry Rhubarb pie at The Ice Cream Bar.

I did! But then it got misplaced in the move. But I just ordered a new one so you can borrow that one when it arrives.

The George and Dragon pub is nearby, and the Stone Close Tea Room. Just need a bookstore, really.

I saw two of my most memorable shows there: R.E.M. (with Let's Active opening), and a year later the Cramps.

Personally I prefer her shorter curlier mid-Fifties hair but I suspect you want something more like this.

They do custom made wigs. So they could probably do your Ultimate Marilyn look if you wanted. Or early Dolly when she was still doing her own hair before she switched to wigs.

I'll have to do some research because I think Rosalie's is closed. But the drag queens have to go somewhere to get their wigs! I think we also need to get you a perfect Marilyn wig.

She's adorable! Look at you with the fashionista skills. It would be great to see you. I'd spoil your properly.

Oh, my Stylist, I'm so sorry. That must have been so painful and difficult. Did you leave the Bay Area?

Soon you'll have the pleasure of seeing all the Google alerts on your name being free downloads of your book hosted on Russian servers. (He said from experience.)

David Smay @hecubot.bsky.social · 18/04/2025
I don't think it's pickles in themselves so much as an increased focus on adding a balancing acidity to meals. It's much more common in international cuisines and chefs are dipping into that.

I think I mentioned that I started to put together a Memphis 70s Pop playlist: Big Star, Chris Bell, Tommy Hoehn, Prix, Scruffs, Terry Manning, Rock City, Icewater...

I'm furious with your vote supporting the Trump budget. You are wildly out of touch if you think this is what the Democratic base wants. We want you to fight instead of wringing your hands ineffectually. Craven capitulation. This is a gross disappointment. I thought better of you.

My ex, Marti the Medical Student, was half Dutch. Her father, uncle and grandmother survived the Nazi occupation by sneaking out at night to dig up tulip bulbs to eat to avoid starving. Under a shoot-on-sight curfew.
