I now have something to look forward to each month 2026! Merry, Merry and Happy Holidays to @tomgossmusic.bsky.social ! 🎄🎄🎄🎅🏽🎅🏽🎅🏽🎅🏽

Two moments from this afternoon’s Christmas concert by the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus in Berkeley. Good singing and as usual, hijinks were thrown! 🎄🎅🏽

Although the film is 4 years old, we are just now getting around to watching this Aretha Franklin Biopic. Didn't think I'd like it at first, but Jennifer Hudson shines. Music I grew up on. youtu.be/qTtxoz3OIlU?...

Hmmm...

When the San Francisco locations of Beard Papa’s closed I mourned. Then, before visiting my dentist I realized that there was one in the same town! So, with cleaned and healthy teeth I hightailed it over and bought two dulce de leche, two double chocolate and two churro puffs!

Saw this in the window of Destination PSP in Palm Springs. It’s not real LEGO but boy was I tempted.

This year’s LEGO village. I was able to rig Santa and his sleigh so they appear to be “flying.”

Wonder where I am today?

Billboard by a local dairy cooperative, Clover, spotted last weekend in Sonoma county. The cow, named Clo, is the company’s mascot. They always come up with sly double entendres. This was a gem!

Monochrome Monday.

Or next to last meal in Guadalajara was breakfast at La Chata, up the street from our hotel. The egg omelette and chilaquiles were good, but I loved the tarot-type tiles in the men's room.

Well, even in these parts of northern CA we get to experience fall. Still A reminder of winter to come. So I got out my Fierté Ours Paris shirt from a long ago spring.

In Guadalajara we saw some of the many works of muralist José Clemente Orozco. His works include the frescoes inside the University of Guadalajara (now a museum), and the mural of Miguel Hidalgo at the Governor's Palace. Although a contemporary of Diego Rivera, they had very different styles.

Sunday Brunch at Santo Coyote in Guadalajara’s Colonia Americana neighborhood. Delicious moles, chilaquiles, pozole, eggs, and breakfast sweets. So worth a visit!

A few shots of the Casa Iteso Clavigero in Guadalajara, a design by Luis Barragan, built in 1929. Soon after his return to Mexico from working with Frank Lloyd Wright. He combined traditional construction with his arts and crafts training. You can see elements of his later, modernist, works.

A few more pics from Guadalajara - We had lunch in Tlaquepaque:

Been away for a long weekend in Guadalajara. We went to attend the wedding of an old friend. All of his now husband's family and lots of bears in attendance. Had some very good meals and also made it to a vaquero/bear bar, La Cantina de los Alteños. Will try to post a few pics.

Interesting how this works...

We were recently in Seattle, and among other things got to see the Ai Weiwei show (closing today). It was fabulous, and covered the length of his career, from his early days in New York to his later works. Please go and support it if it lands near you. seattleartmuseum.org/whats-on/exh...
