This morning, up bright and early. Far too early and none too bright, really.
I needed to drop a few items in the mail and then decamped to this Starbucks, which was crowded with coffee lovers in their plaid Christmas pajamas, discussing their hangovers and today’s holiday shopping plans.
I had holiday shopping plans of my own- seeking a new and festive seasonal shirt, like the one below, featuring a beer bottle festooned with Christmas lights.
Close door first, then lock it.

A strange parking garage in downtown San Diego. for sale
Horton Plaza is pretty strange: five or six stories of open-air arcades and colonnades and zigzagging staircases, Gap stores and magnet schools, as postmodern as you could imagine and painted in the brightest oranges and pinks. This is the even stranger parking garage for Horton Plaza- The Fruit and Vegetable Garage. The garage is like something out of Escher, mazelike and disorienting and full of these colorful signs.
“Take me somewhere pretty to paint,” I requested politely.
“I want a martini while you paint,” he said.
“I’ll paint this bar!” I said.
