football fiesta

Bay seniors who think SF is the center of the world will be 100% correct over the next few days as corporate oligarchs descend in their private jets to celebrate Super Bowl 50 here. Even though we don’t have a dog in the fight, we locals are invited to a number of events including fireworks, […]

culture for misers

Bay seniors are remarkable. Somehow they manage to afford to live here. One of our secrets is the trove of discounts available. On the ever invaluable Goldstar, SF Symphony tickets can be grabbed for $10. SF  Opera offers tickets for seniors for $30 on the day of performance. At ACT seniors 65 and over may […]

for art’s sake

Bay seniors conscious enough to remember SF’s mid-century renaissance of music and poetry may think the Fillmore is the only still-active remnant of that era. Not so. Intersection of the Arts has been around over 50 years and was an incubator for Beat arts. Nowadays it is still kicking, appropriately re-located in the hyperactive Mission […]

free for all

Geezers watching with alarm as the stock market nose dives will certainly appreciate the tremendous variety of activities this upcoming weekend that are absolutely, officially free. All National Parks will be charging no entry fee (not clear on camping fees). The annual Band Festival on the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park is gratis, as […]

luv

Bay seniors can express their love this Valentine’sDay far beyond roses/ chocolate/ balloon cliches. For the 1% of readers who can afford them why not purchase one of those large heart sculptures that have been popping up around town in homage to Tony Bennett.  Bids for table top versions start at $15,000.  The enlarged ones […]

love boat

Amorous but frugal seniors seeking a night to remember might consider booking a boat on the Bay. There are a variety of alternatives at every price point but a cost-effective one is Clay Bell’s 37- footer anchored in Richardson Bay. Amenities are minimal- a king-size foam bed and a twin propane burner. Lacking electricity, it’s […]

parks and rec

Bay seniors, despite the closing of too many State parks, have to be encouraged by the impressive list of activities cooked up this summer by the ever imaginative East Bay Parks District. Does any other organization offer Bat Monitoring in an abandoned mine? What about Rope Making and Hay Hoisting, Farm Laundering and Victorian Tabletop games? […]

war party

Bay Area seniors have my apologies for missing this month’s Civil War re-enactment on Angel Island. But remain calm, there is another one coming up at Roaring Camp in the Santa Cruz Mountains on Memorial Day weekend (May 28, 29 & 30). If you’re just there to watch take the 1880’s Redwood Forest Steam Train […]
