My photos and graphics cannot be updated on this site due to ancient written code by a dead man and a missing woman.  (The truth.)  But I will continue to post blog entries here until such time as I choose to update this site with “new technology.” No matter what, I will always be found at this same address:

I must admit I’m partial to this site.  I designed it, way back when, with the assitance of the dead man and the missing woman. 

So don’t go anywhere.

David Alvarez lost the election. A sad outcome indeed. And a great loss for San Diego.

I predict David Alvarez will be the next mayor of San Diego. So many volunteers have contributed to his campaign including my husband, Luke Terpstra, Chair of the Hillcrest Town Council, along with our dear friends Ann Garwood and Nancy Moors, who have hosted two (2) Meet and Greets at their beautiful home in Banker’s Hill along with updating their Hillquest web site on a daily basis - keeping the local media honest in its coverage of the Alvarez campaign.

It’s 6:50 p.m. now, polls close at 8 p.m.

Stay tuned. . .

Philip Seymour Hoffman. One of the “sensitives.” Rest in Peace.

“I once was lost but now I’m found.”

Barack Obama, our president, is back.

And let me add:

If Über rich companies like Walmart, McDonalds and others like them paid a living wage to their employees then their employees would not be forced to use food stamps and apply for other governmental services to keep themselves and their families fed and off the street - they could make a living doing their jobs, imagine that, thus saving the government lots of money but oh wait, that cannot happen because it is not politic for the slash and burn politicians to point this out, this being corporate welfare. Instead they make fun of the working poor and cut their benefits because in America, hard work pays off.

Oh, but wait. The working poor have jobs.

Silly me.

“Dear friend, as we wrap up 2013 and begin a brand new year, set your sights upon that which your heart desires most. Clarify your intentions, write them down, create a vision board, light a candle and affirm what you truly want, and then close your eyes and feel the feelings of the intentions fulfilled. Feel the feelings deeply. These are not resolutions, dear ones, for they are of little use. This is you stepping into your truth as a master co-creator of your life within the new year of 2014. Let go of playing small and let go of the past, including 2013. Let it all go and start anew. Now is the time. We are with you and we love you so!”

HAT TIP to The Daily Dish and Andrew Sullivan, on World AIDS Day, Monday, December 2, 2013.

Nine years ago The Dish, as Andrew Sullivan’s Blog was called at the time, posted the following exchange between a reporter and Reagan spokesman Larry Speakes - Today, it is “a useful reminder of how far the country has come since October 15, 1982″:

Q: Larry, does the President have any reaction to the announcement from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, that AIDS is now an epidemic and have over 600 cases?
MR. SPEAKES: What’s AIDS?
Q: Over a third of them have died. It’s known as “gay plague.” (Laughter.) No, it is. I mean it’s a pretty serious thing that one in every three people that get this have died. And I wondered if the President is aware of it?
MR. SPEAKES: I don’t have it. Do you? (Laughter.)
Q: No, I don’t.
MR. SPEAKES: You didn’t answer my question.
Q: Well, I just wondered, does the President …
MR. SPEAKES: How do you know? (Laughter.)
Q: In other words, the White House looks on this as a great joke?
MR. SPEAKES: No, I don’t know anything about it, Lester.
Q: Does the President, does anyone in the White House know about this epidemic, Larry?
MR. SPEAKES: I don’t think so. I don’t think there’s been any …
Q: Nobody knows?
MR. SPEAKES: There has been no personal experience here, Lester.
Q: No, I mean, I thought you were keeping …
MR. SPEAKES: I checked thoroughly with Dr. Ruge this morning and he’s had no – (laughter) – no patients suffering from AIDS or whatever it is.
Q: The President doesn’t have gay plague, is that what you’re saying or what?
MR. SPEAKES: No, I didn’t say that.
Q: Didn’t say that?
MR. SPEAKES: I thought I heard you on the State Department over there. Why didn’t you stay there? (Laughter.)
Q: Because I love you Larry, that’s why (Laughter.)
MR. SPEAKES: Oh I see. Just don’t put it in those terms, Lester. (Laughter.)
Q: Oh, I retract that.
MR. SPEAKES: I hope so.
Q: It’s too late.
