The Grain of the Present will be on display at Pier 24 until February 2018.
Despite having lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 17 years, I had never been to Tahoe until this past Xmas. Here are some pics from our very first trip.
At work, we're producing a series of videos profiling local nonprofit organizations. Over the last week, I've had the opportunity to go behind the scenes at the video shoots, spending some quality time with a few of the featured organizations.The experience has been incredible. On a day-to-day basis, I'd say my colleagues and I remain largely removed from the organizations and individuals our platform serves. Sure, ostensibly we know quite a bit about the folks on our site. We've got data galore, spreadsheets a-poppin', charts and graphs (line, pie, venn) that show, to the very dollar, the impacts of fundraisers. But, nothing can possibly compare to seeing that impact in the flesh, up close and personal, alive and very eager to show you, say, a really cool painting of Adele he just made.That was exactly the situation in pretty much every photo above, taken during our visit to Creativity Explored. Creativity Explored is a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization and visual arts center where artists with developmental disabilities create, exhibit, and sell art. This year, CE will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Most of the people I know in San Francisco, didn't even know it existed. Hopefully, they do now. :)Anywho, just wanted to share. If you have the time and the inclination, I highly recommend stopping by their gallery and studio. Here's the relevant info:

San Francisco Animal Care & Control is San Francisco's "only open door animal shelter that accepts any animal - in any condition - of any temperament. SF ACC is responsible for the City’s stray, injured, abandoned, neglected and mistreated animals - of all species - and wildlife. All varieties of animals are available for adoption daily."
Having adopted two dogs who were surrendered to shelters (Audrey came from the Pinole shelter, Penelope from SF ACC), I feel as though I owe decades' worth of happiness and camaraderie to organizations like the SF ACC. They do so much to enrich the lives of both people and animals. I've seen that impact first hand.Please join me in supporting the SF ACC's latest fundraiser, Bringing Music to Their Ears, which will supply the facility with a state-of-the-art sound system to sooth and calm shelter animals and the people who care for them in an often hectic, loud, and stressful environment.

The company I work for had a community service day recently. We spent a morning pulling weeds on Hawk Hill in Marin. If you have to do community service, there are far worse places you could be.
Ben and I have recently started going to Fort Point/Crissy Field on the weekends. We walk around, watch the doggies playing on the beach and make up little stories about what the dogs are saying/thinking. "You'll never catch me, losers! Wait, catch me!" Or, "Throw the ball, throw it, c'mon, throw the ball, omg throoooowwwww it." Or "This water is so much colder than I expected. I regret all my life choices!" I wonder whether people hear us and think we're insane.We just miss having a dog, you judgmental jerks. Dang.
On the weekends, Ben and I take walks around the city. Last weekend, we found a pier off the Embarcadero that we'd never seen before.
Today, at the little blacktop skate park in Golden Gate Park, we encountered a group of people rolling around on what looked like giant metal hula hoops:Little did we know that this is a TOTALLY LEGIT THING. How legit? It's been on reality TV. So You Think You Can Dance, in fact!
The hoop is called a "cyr wheel" and appears to be the latest fancy-pants acrobatics apparatus. How fancy? Cirque Du Soleil fancy:
The more you know! You're welcome, Internet!
