At first I just did freelance stuff for them while at the E-T. Then went to Texas and ran the Oleo Strut coffeehouse in Killeen outside Fort Hood. Came back to SF and RS was moving to the offices at Third and Market (their last in SF) and did features on politics. Finally some people questioned the way Wenner was running things, and he fired the lot of us, saying "I'll hire 10 for every one of you!" He went to NYC and did so, and I was in a funk that led to going back to college at SF State, then wasting the 70s in politics before my life got turned upside down by a great lady so I could realize I'd been living upside down and thinking I was right side up, and came down here and the rest is history. And amazingly enough, I think that lady is re-entering my life (if I'm really lucky).
Also a "1" to my "11" which according to numerologists is a match made in heaven if you have your eyes open and your brain turned on (which we now do).
I was pretty much in love with a Karen (who has shown up recently but told me we'd better not talk when I expressed an eagerness to do so--she's unhappily married, but still married and I was soooo flattered when she said this) and I've had a lifelong crush on another. so for me, it's a lovely name. the whole "Karen" thing is an unfortunate twist of fate. I wish that woman in Central Park had been named something like...I dunno...Amarilla or something.

Waiting 56 years, had someone re-enter after 44 years, but that’s another story. Aren’t they all…. Good luck
Best of luck on that!!!
She’s not the Scorpio is she?😹
Nope. Karen's a Virgo.
Also a "1" to my "11" which according to numerologists is a match made in heaven if you have your eyes open and your brain turned on (which we now do).
That’s good and I say that as a Scorpio. She has a great name. Even though we Karen’s get a bad rap. It really is unfair.
Ohhh.... I hope I never meet you in person. You do know what they say about Cancer males and Scorpio females? (kidding)

It is really cool that you two have reconnected. I hope everything works out well for you.
Well yes...it can be dangerous. Best keep our distance and limit our communication to Substack.😹
I laughed out loud.
