If I stand on the sun porch and look west, I can see the tip-top of San Francisco’s skyline. Closer at hand, I can just see two or three palm tree tops from this window, trees that I know for a fact stand right near the shore at Crab Cove. It really makes me feel like I’m living on an Island to tell friends, “Yes, I can see the beach from here. See those trees? Those are at the beach.” It’s a perk of Island living to get to see palm trees waving in the wind. Around the other side, right behind the house, there’s an apartment complex – shhh,…

Forgot to post her mailing address, if you should wish to write to the Queen of Coronation Street: Mia Romero c/o 12 Delvino Road, London SW64AD England In other news: still on jury duty, damn damn damn but soon off it, I hope. Yet more news: Alameda Literati is on TV now. Check this out: http://alamedatv.org/ and also this: http://alamedatv.org/programs/literati.html — notice who the producer is 😉 — it’s me!!! Yep, this is one of my new forays — into television. I’m working with the director of local cable TV on producing a literary program, starting with Alameda Literati footage and continuing into other arenas — taping Red Hills Reviews…

Missive from Mia Watch: i’m going to do the i-got-a-job-dance! i got the science museum job and it looks like it’s going to be really fun! i work the various ticket booths and such. a bad day would be working the cloak-room. good day= running the simulator rides (like the Days of Thunder ride, lots of throwing around and shaking) and the imax theater. there are a ton of shops and places to eat (snack bars, really cheap NICE restaurant, etc.) and i get discounts in them all. all for making way more money than at the pub and getting to sit all day. score! i also got my first…

Missive from Mia Lindsay and i are planning our summer traveling and we have decided to head over to germany, poland, czech and hungary. and while we are there, we shouldn’t we stop into yugoslavia and see natasha, yes? i was thinking that would be so cool. do you think it’s possible? could you e-mail natasha? or give me her address? i would love it. We have had sort of a lazy saturday. last night i took myself out to a nice dinner and sat and read with my pint. it was nice. i don’t think i have ever dined by myself before. lindsay and her sister met up with…

I feel like I’m intruding when I want to post some of my own stuff, now that the disembodied Voice of Mia has moved in. I still haven’t been able to reach her by phone; it always says she’s got it switched off in this posh British accent (not hers). So I wait for her e-mails to catch up with what’s next. I have been planning to set up the Red Hills Review Web site but last night had the idea to set up a RHR blog instead, so for what it’s worth, if you get a minute, go check out www.redhillsreview.blogspot.com, huh? And let me know if you think…
