Tried getting up at 3 a.m., tried the children's bicycle, finally a SENTRI pass
I LOVED reading this! Hopefully, one day, we will be able to go back and forth across the border like we did before 911. Glad to read you were able to find a solution.— November 24, 2011 8:57 a.m.
Class Warfare
Right on, Nan. These young 'uns do my heart proud. Just when I thought they were all a bunch of self-absorbed brats, they proved me WRONG! I LOVE it!— October 11, 2011 2:31 p.m.

What's in a Name?
I really enjoyed reading this. I named my son Beniamino (partly because of my admiration for San Francisco's favorite artist, Beniamino Bufano; and partly to give him the Italian version of my husband's name, Benjamin). Then, he picked up the nickname of "Monk" in middle school and it stuck. Once, he asked me if my feelings would be hurt if he legally changed his name. He wanted to keep his first name, but change his middle name to Monk. Since his middle name is my last name; I suppose I was a tad disappointed and didn't give a clear answer. He never did go through with the change. Maybe I should contact him and let him know that changing his name would be a good thing, if he feels his birth name does not fit. PS: I've ALWAYS hated my name.— September 28, 2011 1:51 p.m.

De Anza mobile homes pushed out of Mission Bay
GREAT article! I actually know someone who lives in this park. I applaud your accurate account of what has and is still happening in this community. It isn't the fault of the residents that the park was not in compliance with the law. People invested their money in this housing just as anyone else would invest in conventional property. How many people check the history, laws or politics involved with a dwelling they are about to purchase? Not many. They put their trust in the title and real estate companies or the property owners. I think (we) seniors (especially those of us who are of little means) need to rally like other disenfranchised segments of society do. We've paid into the "system" in one way or another for 40, 50, 60 years; and now are scrambling to find safe, affordable housing that will enable us to conduct our business without having to take our lives into our hands to go to the grocery store.— September 15, 2011 7:49 a.m.

Back They Come To Trouble Us
This made me think of my relationship with my father. He has always been SO patient as I put him first through purgatory and then through hell...— August 14, 2011 8:58 a.m.
