Friday Fog Day

May 22, 2009

Maven’s arcane rituals have worked and the fog has rolled in. Maven’s war on hot Marin Summers is preceding as planned.

Depression Glass of Whine
Peg Melnik of the Press Democrat tortures us with tempting wine recommendations that are hardly depression-friendly like “Luna, 2006 Reserve Napa Valley Sangiovese, $50. A sangiovese with firm tannins. Aromas of lavender and raspberries. Notes of cherry, pomegranate and dark chocolate. Good length.” At 50 bucks a bottle, length needs to last a month. It is still Maven’s Birthday month. Anyone like to send a bottle? Would Maven be a shill for pricey, but tasty wine in return for free samples. Oh, yes.

Speaking of drinking alcohol. It appears that Autodesk has posted not-so-good 1Q2009 numbers and are planning layoffs again. They will be hiring about a 100 in a highly targeted way — hopefully in Marin.

Celebrating Harvey
Yesterday, May 21st, was Harvey Milk’s Birthday. Maven remembers when her Junior High teacher held back tears announcing that Milk and Moscone were shot and killed. This was the time where they were trying to keep gays from being teachers and we would later find out this teacher was gay. Ask Arnold to sign a bill to name May 21st, Harvey Milk Day to celebrate this man’s courage. My feeling is we may have to wait for a Democrat to be Governor in 2010.

In related news, LGBT Rights groups expect a California Supreme Court decision on Prop 8 anytime between now and the beginning of June.

The Penns
Speaking of Harvey Milk, It appears that Marinites, Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn have changed their minds again in filing for divorce.
I hesitated to really say anything because it really isn’t our business, but I wish both well regardless what they decide.

Getting your Mojo in Marin
Marin OB/GYN and mother, Lissa Rankin, helps women find their mojo on her site, Owning Pink. All hail Mojo Maven!
