Only realized last week, that the Berlin Philharmonic are coming through San Francisco. “Berlin Philharmonic SOLD OUT Please call 415-864-6000 for turnbacks. In any short list of the world’s greatest orchestras, the Berlin Philharmonic is at the top. Don’t miss this rare, once-in-a-lifetime experience as the Berlin Philharmonic makes its Davies Symphony Hall debut under its new Music Director, Sir …

This morning I knew, that I would be busy throughout the day. One of the items on the list was grocery shopping. It was sunny but still pretty cold, nonetheless I took a backpack and for the first time in a long while my motorcycle. It was just after 9 o’clock, San Francisco mostly still sleeping and I was in the zone, chasing …

Love today’s Quote a day because it is about juggling.  “Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air.

Susanna, my best friend from Austria didn’t say much when Arnie got elected. She just send me the following postcard. No, this is not Arnie on this postcard, this is the next badge of Austrian hunks preparing to take over the world.

We grilled and started there already with some mulled wine.  Then we walked with candles over to the Mission district to join the parade. First we were only standing on the sidewalk every one of use …

We don’t get enough positive data points in our lives. This is why I subscribe to the “Quote A Day” from CharityFocus. Again a real jewel from one of the greatest man alive Nelson Mandela (A man who after 28 years in jail does not have an axe to grind has my deepest admiration.):  “In judging our progress as individuals …

This evening I was literally walking down the street, it was dark already and parents were passing me with their little ones in cute costumes.
