That headline is today’s six-word memoir. A special shout-out to my friends Larry & Piper, with whom we got to kick it the second weekend of Jazz Fest and see Stevie Wonder.

For those of you not living in San Francisco, this is one of the random weeks that is hot along the Barbary Coast. Today = Hot. I’ve been working with wool, of course, sewing on my final project. At 6 p.m. I called off the work, searched the cabinets, created the In A Pinch Rum Cocktail and made a playlist. This is my open-window, sweaty-thigh San Francisco hit list. It’s best played on random with a squeeze of lime. I hope you like it.

What? You didn’t know I was such a softie? I went to Montessori school in the 1970’s, people. Sing-alongs are ingrained in my brain.
