Plaid is the new Black

You heard it here first, from your Polo Ralph Lauren sales specialist. Pictured: Grove/Alb. at his 5oth birthday celebration, Chevy's, Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco.

Happy 50th, Grove/Alb.!

Today is my fiftieth birthday!!!!

I am having a day filled with art. First was my painting class in the morning and a little celebration with carrot cake cupcakes made by my painting pal Kelcie (pictured with me in her painting class lab coat). Then off to the de Young Museum to see an exhibit of a pair of British artists I've admired for decades, Gilbert & George. And coming up this evening: a trip out to City College to show off my painting, and then dinner, with two other friends of mine.

Yay me, for surviving fifty years on this planet!
