Who’s Leon?

I own and operate a Web site, www.alwaysangels.com, on which I sell a variety of Angel-themed gifts. I find most of my Angels at the International Gift Fair which is held twice a year at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. But I don't find all of my Angels in [...]

Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree

Cultures that lived before the coming of Christ celebrated the winter solstice and the coming of the sun. Since the coming of Christ, Christians celebrate the coming of the Son at the same time of the year. As is common with many religious feasts, festivals and celebrations, Christmas is full [...]

Here Comes the Sun

As astronomers would say (and the Beatles too), here comes the sun. Or as Christians would say, here comes the Son. Whatever your point of view, happy Winter Solstice. There was a full eclipse of the moon last night. Having a full eclipse fall on the same day as the [...]

In a Select Group

I just read on Yahoo News that today only 11% of Americans look up telephone numbers in the white pages.

So far New York, Florida and Pennsylvania have approved Verizon's request to stop [...]

Top of the town

From the top of the downtown parking garage you get a panoramic, birds-eye view of Petaluma. If you visit the fourth floor of the garage, you'll be treated to view of Petaluma from a very different perspective than the one you get from the ground. And of course, bring a [...]

Up on the roof

Big, puffy clouds add a lot to the background of a photo. A cloud-filled sky can make the difference between a good photo and a memorable one. When the skies over Petaluma fill with cumulus clouds, it’s time to take out the camera and make some pictures. My favorite place [...]
