Welcome Paradoxers!
This blogspot will be our new home to share updates on everyone's new cd's, links to music venues, and other activities.
You can also post remembrances, photos, and any other memorabilia you would like to share. It would be great if this could become like an archive for the Paradox -- then and now.
More information to follow as I figure this out. In the meantime, please add your comments and keep the site alive and growing.
We had an interesting 4th. Fireworks in SF are iffy since it's fog season. But cross a bridge and you're back in decent weather.
My old friend, Joe, had always wanted to live aboard a boat, and so he and his wife sold their place in Larkspur and bought a fairly huge twin-engine ChrisCraft last year. Alas, it turned out to be just a bit small, especially for two people who work out of home offices. And given the price of diesel these days, they didn't take it out much.
So last fall, they bought an old military tug that's permanently docked at the end of E dock, in Sausalito, right across the inlet from the Spinnaker restaurant. It goes nowhere, but it floats, has four bedrooms two bathrooms, lots of living space, and they're in a great neighborhood. The wheelhouse is Joe's new office.
They moved in, quite illegally, in February. They have to maintain a different mailing address and a fiction that this isn't their primary abode. And, now that they're settled in, we had the housewarming party on the 4th. Perfect weather for it and it was about a 20-30 person party with a jazz festival perfectly audible from just across the inlet. Good music, good food, great company and an excellent view of the Sausalito fireworks barge.
Norma and I watched the whole thing from the wheelhouse, sitting next to the statue of the Buddha at the helm. We are just loving Joe and Jenny's new home.
Yesterday was an uneventful day at work, which is a good thing, considering my margarita intake from the night before. I seldom drink, so I have little resistance.
And today is my 63rd birthday. We just got back from the Fillmore St. Fair and Jazz Festival, and will be off to pick some BBQ shortly.
Happy Birthday Rik!!!! I would love to live on a big boat, we do miss the ocean, but love where we do live. Stupid question, where does it go when you flush????? Gary and Susan, thanks for the really cute card, fun. Our baby ducks have all flown off to live the happy duck life. ......Helen

Happy B'Day Rik! Since I'm 62 until October it makes me feel young again. Think I'll go dance a jig.
Does the man wear the tie?
What's a tie?
