It's Monday. And it's time to post a picture. So here's something different today: giant soap bubbles, flying through the air.

Oooh.

I'm off to catch up on the news. Love you all. Mean it.

There's a song about this.

Heh. My college alumni association has been pestering me for info for their reunion book. This is what I wrote:

PLEASE TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR CAREER

I'm retired so you're not getting a resumé. I don't want a job, not unless that ** in the White House creates another Great Recession, which could happen.

U really want to know about me?

I take lots of the camera pictures. With a camera. Sometimes they're amusing. I like those the best.

Also, I still have weekly nightmares about taking exams, naked, and panicking because I don't remember attending the course. I'll bet most of my former classmates have teh dreams too. Thanks, college.

ANY ADVICE TO YOUR YOUNGER SELF OR FOR FUTURE CORNELLIANS

The older, grumpier me would probably tell the college-aged me "I know you think that musical was wonderful Bob, but maybe, just maybe, instead of singing 'How do you solve a problem like Maria' the nuns should have sung 'How do you solve a problem like the Nazis'."

Focus on the important things in life.

Chaos, yesterday, on Valencia Street.

Yesterday, we went out on San Francisco Bay to scatter our friend Bill's ashes. It was moving afternoon, simple and sweet, as we marked a good end to a life well lived.

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned I was going through my old friend Ian's journals and photos.

While Ian died in1999, there are two people alive who still remember him (myself and a mutual friend in Florida).

Anyway, I've saved a handful of Ian's photos from his journals. These 3 were labeled DIRIGIBLE LOS ANGELES IN PANAMA, Feb 27, 1928.

I think Ian may have taken them - he was certainly there and all the other photos from that time are of Ian and his friends - but it is possible he acquired these airship photos from a vendor.

In any case, I think they are really cool.
