$8 Goes a Long Way

Yesterday we went to the San Francisco International Auto Show. Although I'm not in the market, I always enjoy seeing the new vehicles. If you are thinking of buying a new car, spend the entry fee and go to a car show. In SF the auto show runs through December 2nd. You'll have the opportunity to see and feel every new make and model, with zero sales pressure.

Porsche had a nice presence this year, and had many vehicles for people to sit in, versus previous years. This is a picture of me, sitting in a Cayman wearing the Carrera-Region PCA denim shirt my father gave me. I've posted some additional pictures of the Porsche's, and their new "Hybrid Drive System and engine, along with some non-Porsche car pics.

Gladys apparently has been just a dream and is going to stay at the Inn for the rest of the weekend. She's been getting along well with the other resident Pekes, and the Inn Keeper is already thinking of either Eva or Flora for her new name. The best sign of all that this is not just a visit.

Newsletter Accomplished

The Carrera Region PCA newsletter is completed. Here it is! What I learned is, as much as I love Word; I need to bite the bullet and learn Adobe. BTW, the hubby picked up the 944 today. He says that it's running fab. I guess a Wednesday delivery when it was promised the previous Friday, is right-on-time for Porsche mechanics.

Friday is the opening of Holiday Windows. Don't think I'll be doing any extra curricular activities for the rest of the year. How sad is it when designing a newsletter is something you do in your spare time.

Holiday Windows Time

This coming Friday begins this year's SF/SPCA Holiday Windows. Macy's Union Square is kindly hosting us again this year on the corner of Stockton and O'Farrell. I can't discolose the exciting theme, so you'll have to check them out when they open on Friday at 11:30 am. We're very honored that Pro Football Hall-of-Famer Steve Young will be doing the unveiling. If you can't make it, the windows will be open during Macy's store hours through New Year's Day. The SF/SPCA will also have a link to two webcams that are being installed in the windows. Here's a video from last year's Windows.

Also, I'm working on a newsletter for my father's Porsche Club Carrera-Region Newsletter. It's amazing how much newsletters can be energy vampires; everything has to be just so (kind'a like blogs?) But at some point it just has to go to bed, or at least I have to. I've modeled it off of The SF/SPCA's Award-Winning magazine, Our Animals. I'll post the newsletter once I've completed it, hopefully on Tuesday.
