Asia SF

as the announcer confirmed...Asia SF,(http://www.asiasf.com/index.php) where the Woman are pretty but the men are prettier!!!! OH MUY GAWD, these "gender illusionists" were amazing, funny and stacked....real or not, it was still entertaining! and just exactly where do they strap that thang (yeah I said it!!) Well thanks to our friends, Vicky and Richard, we were posed for a wonderful night...they found there way there to meet us after getting stuck with a flat tire on 280 for two and a half hours (AAA sucks sometimes!) The night was surreal, we did chamboard shots, woman (soon to be brides) did shots from guys crotches, wore dildos on their head, and there was some guy dressed in fireman pants, suspenders down practicing poses and of course the "strut off" with two men in stilettos higher than I've ever tried with m0ore swing and attitude in their walk than I've ever dreamed of having. We had great food and a little time to catch up with our friends from our Loreto kayak. We are forever indebted to them for getting us out of Sacramento and experiencing San Francisco's finest.

Plus our hotel, in Japantown, was right next to marketplace...of course we could only window shop this morning but I'm so going back. Then we went to brunch with my friend, Julia and her husband John. A yummy place outside Golden Gate park-Park Chow!!!

Then back on Bart, opps wrong train, then wrong stop, then wait for Amtrak...but what an adventuresome weekend.

Kat Kapers

Meeps has been cooped up for a week and a half and right now he is free to run amuck with the other creatures. I think Penny really missed him. They've been playing and both seem better off for it! Penny is in her chomping phase, see my silk flowers... after missy chompers!!! ps. did I find Penny a boyfriend on Stuff on my Cat???

Sushiology 1B

Well I think I have graduated to Sushi 1B. The process is getting easier and I feel comfortable with the choosing of the fish and all the accouterments of the job. Next up will be Donburi and Gunkan Style...Can't wait.

Guess who's home???

I know its Halloween, but I care more about bringing my Man home. I sang to Meepers the entire drive home from Greenhaven, a few million references to my meepers bear not wearing underwear. Now we have to go back to radioactive awareness, only direct contact for 30 minutes a day...he's just so needy for touch. I pet, rub, head butt and love....then leave him before my heart breaks. two weeks should go quickly but I am afraid it will take a painfully long time. As hard as it is for me, I'm sure it doesn't compare to radioiodine therapy and being locked up for a week in some cold clinic. BUT HE'S home, on the road to recovery...Halloween pictures to come...

Mark Pyle's birthday weekend

Sushi orgy to celebrate Mark's Birthday. Don, Bee, Edda, Rich, Me and Mark
snorked on all kinds on fresh fish indulgences at the Sushi Cafe...then they combined free shots of sake and this funky mini-bicycle which they willingly allowed anyone to ride.

Then last night Mark came over to Casa Marck after he and Rich worked moving Mark's work to their new location. Beer was required and enjoyed!!!! I'm excited for Halloween but sad to have it behind us, which means Thanksgiving is coming next. As much as I love Halloween I'm not a fan of Thanksgiving.

No update on Meeps but I brought him a towel that I slept with for four nights, his food and some treats. Hope he can come home soon!

Kitty Klink

Rich took Meeps in for his 6 months check in...they were just going to do a scan. Every month after his first "baking" we had to do another set of blood tests...each time they said be prepared, he may be of the 3% that need to go back in for another series. Whelp Rich took him today and they said they'd scan him tomorrow and they knew he needed another session of radioiodine therapy FRAKE!!! Rich comforted him in the car, playing Billy Joel and massaging him for the hour wait at the clinic...then he had to leave. I know how hard that is...and our house is missing him so. Hope he forgives us and comes back all fixed. Dutifully I will sequester him, touch him for no more than 15 minutes a day, and love him cause after these three next weeks of hell he should be all fixed.

Meeps I miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love Fall!!!! and kittens!

We are busy trying to redo my studio/cat room with vinyl tiles, continue our quest for both a spooky yet festive Halloween house, keep kitten out of trouble, have Allie chill out so her ACL will heal, keep walking Tig so she doesn't become a bigger "porkchop"...all the while fighting entropy. We are content, enjoying fall and home!

Weekend At Home

Seems like we
forget how great
a weekend at
home can be.
Getting the
Halloween stuff
going...Napping...
Sushi Makin....
Glass Fusin....

Good stuff.

Well honestly best weekend ever!!!

Started with a "going away" party for a swimmer friend of ours, Keith. We did a quick visit and moved on to Trailer Park Troubadour's concert. What a unbelievable presentation of giving from a performer. Antsey McClain, the lead singer was so funny, sincere and energetic. I think the capper was when they came back for an encore Antsey came out in black silk PJs and Homer Simpson slippers. All I know is they are playing at the Palms in November...anyone want to go??? Then Saturday we saw across the Universe...just a great movie. Sunday the 49ers game, Rich blew my mind with killah seats. 49ers lost RAVENS WON!!!

everyone must see:

Across the Universe. Best Movie ever. with a side order of Trailer Park Troubadours! more to follow, off to 49 game tomorrow...go Ravens!!!

really, best freakin movie that I've ever seen!

Baby is doing well!

Penny is really feeling comfortable. This kitten loves the computer and watching TV (our babeeeeee) Meeps is adjusting...see in the pix...they are eating in the same room and almost touching while sleeping.

Finally I can share my news!!!!! We have a new Baby!

Penelope is the newest Marck family member. I was leary of posting until I knew it would work for the entire family! But after a week, the dogs adjusted and Meeps is tolerating. I think Boy cat is looking down on him and laughing his furry butt off! The foster agency (Katmom) where she came from, did a really good job with her. She's totally boxed trained, sleeps at night and well mannered!!! And now, next to her Meepers seems like a gargantuan moose. Ultimately we are all well, enjoying the fall and preparing for halloween decorations.

Last night we ventured out to a rocknroll night "middle-aged" style. They Might Be Giants were playing at the Empire venue and yes it was a 14 & up show. We know how to "kick it!" But actually it was great, two floors, three bars, and hundreds of TMBG fans...read geek central! We thrashed, enjoyed Partical Man, Istanbul not Constantinople and the song about the Shriners car driving up and down the sidewalk 20 thousand million times! We were home by 9:30-perfect!

Then today we went to the DaVinci exhibit at McCleelan. What a genius, it just blows my mind and yes makes me feel like a waste of skin! Greg, Rich and I enjoyed museum and then went through the airplanes. Now just planning on keeping this kitten up...since she slept all day and I want her to sleep tonight. Where is that laser pen?

Football tomorrow-go Giants.
