The miracle of the Del Rey Oaks Safeway, thoughts on local journalism and other things that interest me.

I got my hair wet and slept on it. As a result, I look like a "faces of meth" mugshot.

Karl the Fog totally harshing my Saturday morning.

Accidentally hit an icon on the iPad and this list came up. The bottom completed task was apparently the number of hours I'd worked that week. I have no idea who Nicole Erickson is, Masters didn't end up doing the cartel story, I can't remember why I would ever call anyone from a group titled Young Rebels and I never got around to stabbing myself in the face.

Trying to determine if the joy exceeds the irritation. Joy is currently losing.

Angry parent lashes out during Millennium Charter High School board meeting. Police were called after the man, Dr. Luis Rosas, refused to leave the mic. Parents are irate over ouster of principal/AP teacher Peter Gray, who was placed on administrative leave last week. Rumor that math teacher was also fired, thus unconfirmed.

Super Bowl 50 prep, or as I like to think of it, a big "fuck you" to Santa Clara. #superbowl #sanfrancisco (at San Francisco Ferry Building)

No Words.

It's been almost 12 hours since the bodies were found and the Monterey Herald still has nothing online about two homeless men who died overnight, in Monterey, likely due to exposure.

Happy reporter is happy.

A proud moment.

Edit staff, minus Ana Ceballos, who apparently fell in a ditch this morning and wrecked her ankle, and Nick Rahaim, who had a cover story to finish, took a field trip to see Spotlight. At the end of the film, they list the cities in which priest sexual abuse coverups have been uncovered. Monterey was added to that list, post-production, because The Monterey County Weekly, Sara Rubin and I, with our coverage of the Monterey Diocese and the case of Edward Fitz-Henry, put it there.

Ennui

Me: Why am I going back there tomorrow? Chuck: You want the honest answer? Me: Yes. Chuck: Because you're an idiot. Me: How am I an idiot? Chuck: You gave them three months notice, you should have given them three weeks notice. You should have no more fucks to give.

Staring at the closet.“ .. What does a mother wear when taking her precious boy to the Hospital …. He might be breaking or it could be the drugs. Thousands of marvelous drugs… pretty pills and fancy weed … Molly and Bars and Trees…and cough syrup mixed with things… Slacks or Jeans… Pumps or tennis shoes. No eye makeup… there will be crying. Lots of crying the mother discovers. His sadness and strangeness…his blank eyes filled with darkness. Wear a sweater… no wear your clean tennis shoes….yes shave son. They will think I was or am a terrible mother. What do good mother’s wear…. Cardigans, yes Cardigan it is. No tennis shoes or pumps. Just practical flats. Small pearls…not hoops. They will think I am a Hoochie, I’m not a hoochie, am I ? Quietly pack a overnight bag, find his favorite slippers, sweats and shorts…underwear one must pack clean underwear. And white Tshirts….that smell like Downy. A book perhaps….a warm jacket.. soft. His girlfriends soft purple blanket. Pink light lipstick…. nothing bright. No smokey eye lady. Back to the Hoochie thoughts. Shhhhh I’m looking in the closet trying to decide, what to wear when taking my son to detox.
