Although there isn't an appropriate box to check off on a census form, I have been in a mixed marriage. You see, Tom is a Red Sox fan and I am a lifelong Yankee fan.

David Gray ~ Beacon Theater
About 20 years ago, when I was still in a position to make rules for "Living Silvia Style," I decided that I would never decline an opportunity to experience something new. Other than ecstasy or other recreational drugs, that is. As for those substances, thanks, but I'm not interested, even when it is a famous actor … Continue reading David Gray ~ Beacon Theater
Cella Bistro lunch

Deconstructed quiche salad
I don't know about you, but I believe that nothing but good can follow butter and onions. Geez, the aroma is practically a meal in itself! I was running a bit of a caloric deficit after completing the big loop at Muni and, truth be told, I probably spent the last .5 mile or so … Continue reading Deconstructed quiche salad
