Take California

Karin Kallmaker 07/26/2010 Cheers & Chocolate, Frosting 2 - Second Helpings

After too many miles wishing that people in bulky vehicles understood the purpose of turn outs, we got to camp. I pulled in behind a car with the bumper sticker “I’m so gay I don’t even drive straight.”

Apply Acid and Scrub

Karin Kallmaker 12/23/2009 Cheers & Chocolate, LIFE + STYLE

Senseless Acts of Singing

Karin Kallmaker 11/09/2009 Cheers & Chocolate, Stepping Stone, Unforgettable

Try as I might, I never could sing like Julie Andrews and I didn’t waste any time trying. My mother sewed me a costume though. I still have the carpetbag and the tea set.

Stepping Stone, Duffy, and Inspiration

Karin Kallmaker 11/07/2009 Book News, Cheers & Chocolate, Stepping Stone

The lyrics of Stepping Stone were written by the team of Booker, Stephen Andrew, Duffy and Aimee Ann. Combined with Duffy’s haunting performance, it’s the perfect example of when one kind of art inspires another.

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – 18th and Castro
    There's no apartment building as described at the corner of 18th and Castro in San Francisco. That's why it's called fiction. But wouldn't it be nice if there were?
