Saturday in the Park
Last Sunday, I took a Short Bike Ride through Golden Gate Park. JFK drive was closed as it has been every Sunday for several years. So many different activities occur on that short stretch of road. Last Sunday, I saw people swing dancing (this is free, and the lesson is at 12:30, FYI), kids learning to bike ride, a street hockey game, roller skate dancers, joggers, and giant primeval plants. I realize the plants are there every day, traffic or no traffic, but I had to mention them.
At any rate, a group of sensible citizens and community organizations have been trying to get the park closed to traffic on Sunday as well. Isn't this the best idea? I love it! If you don't think it is a good idea, then I recommend you rush down to JFK drive the next sunny Sunday and find out what all of the fuss is about. Bring a picnic and a bicycle, and check it out.
If you agree that it is a good idea, send Gavin Baby (otherwise known as the Mayor) a little email and tell him to support Saturday closure: gavin.newsom@sfgov.org
Today I went to the Surrealist Calder exhibit at the MOMA. I thought it was fabulous. If you go, be sure and take extra time to see the strange erased-charcoal film at the back of the top-floor gallery. However, it is hard to find, so here are my directions: go to the top floor and find Michael Jackson. Face Michael, then walk straight past him through all of the galleries until you reach what looks like a back exit. Just to be clear, it isn't by Calder, but I can't remember the name of the artist.
Good Luck.
