Initiating the Weekend Mode

The Cocktails Concept, Bruno's SF, 2011.
 Whether "Cocktails" are your thing or not, Friday is a good day to initiate your own weekend mode. Take a longer route home. Read. Touch the Earth with your hands or feet. Drink in some sun. Get a massage. Pet an animal. Get a haircut. Check out surf reports. Play sports. Watch sports. See live music.  Cook something new and don't fear failure. Do a crossword. Contact an old friend. Spend time with family. Make a new acquaintance. Follow one of your established routines, but break another.

Get outside and try to observe something that's changed since last time you were in a park. Or go to a park and make a focused observation that you'll notice is different next time you return. Share it with someone, or log it in your journal. You will be happy that you did! (I promise)

In addition to the concept behind the word, I feel like the festive font used here is worth sharing. This word appears on the façade of Bruno's, a Mission nightclub that seems to have been a fixture here since cursive was invented. Their website claims that they are SF's "most unique nightclub", which seems hard to back up. But, they have been around for over 60 years, and apparently they still have what it takes to bring Kiefer Sutherland in the door for his movie premieres.

  1. I like your remarks. Some of the best things in life are indeed free or inexpensive. Autumn is here and the free color show is just starting. Just love the smell and sound walking thru fallen leaves.
