Wider doors to Congress
Much is being made about this country’s current political divide and a brewing war of cultures. Much of it is wrong. You might say it is fake news.
Ripe Rewards: Dungeness Crab
My favorite meal of the year is actually pre-Thanksgiving (though of course I love Thanksgiving and all it entails); it is on Thanksgiving Eve. We sit down to a simple table and devour local, roasted, Dungeness crab. I look forward to it all year long, every year. Of course we prepare other things like homemade pasta with tomato sauce from our summer/fall harvest, fresh green salad and we pick-up a loaf of crusty sourdough bread. A big Sunday jug of Preston or bottles of Dry Creek Valley zinfandels are requisite too.

Decoding Teenagers: Looking Good on Paper
My sister and nephew are in the throngs of his final college application process—the personal essay. This essay, they tell me, is a deal breaker. The 650 words have to wow the reader, impress them and bring them to tears. As my sister put it, “You have to look good on paper.”
Golf review: a bond between father and son
As I’ve written in years past, my father Mich and I have a long history of playing in the Northern California Family Golf Championship on San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park Golf Course. This challenging tree-lined par three course is tucked away in the western part of the park on 47th and Fulton. We won the beginner’s fifth flight when I was 10 years old and we won the championship flight twice 25 years ago, in 1993 and 1994.

‘Angels’ lands at Raven Performing Arts
:Every Sunday matinee we do a post-show discussion with the audience, so they get a chance to make comments and ask questions of the actors. We saw there were a lot of people who were quite moved and quite touched by the play. So the opening weekend could not have gone better, as far as I’m concerned," said director Steven David Martin.
