Gaidi is quoted in the paper today!

As part of his passion for art and commitment to the Port of San Diego's Public Art Committee, Gaidi has been working on a signature public art project for a LONG time, and today the concept went public. I woke up this morning to a gorgeous picture on the front page of the UT, and an even larger spread inside.

Check out the front page
article by Janine Zuniga in today's San Diego Union-Tribune.
It's online too, there's a link on the front page, today only:

Or here's the article: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20070622-9999-1n22bridge.html

We are extremely excited about this project, and the kids and I are personally very proud of Gaidi!
Feel like offering some encouragement? You can email him at gaidif@yahoo.com

Happy Friday indeed,

My blogging philosophy...

...is very much like my philosophy on speaking: if you have something to say, then do so. If not, what's your point?

I wish I were an "every day" blogger, one of the many writers who post their thoughts and findings for people like me to devour ravenously in feed format.

I wish were...but I'm not.

Instead, I claw through an endless stream of information (online and off) to find something valid to write or comment about. Honestly, how many shells do you have to shuck to find a pearl? Exactly.

I felt guilty this morning, thinking, "I don't post to my blogs nearly as much as other people do." I was instantly redeemed by an offline note from a reader: "I love your posts! You always give me the right measure of 'something cool' to talk about at work or parties. And it's not the stuff that everyone is talking about. Thanks for helping me stay original!"

Well, someone's gotta do it!
