A visit to The Palace of Fine Arts.

Let me say this first. One of my goals in 2015 is to get better in responding to comments in a timely manner. I do really love them and I feel bad that it takes me forever to respond. So, I will try to get better.

I went the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. The Palace of Fine Arts was built in 1915 for the Panama-Pacific Expo of 1915. It is the only structure from the Expo that remains in its original site. The Palace is on a lagoon. It was rebuilt in 1965 and it is a favorite location for weddings. In fact, a couple was taking wedding pics when I there. I was there at dusk:

The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco is truly a treasure in the city.

Again, to anybody to stumbles onto this dribble here, thanks for taking a moment and looking. Have a Happy New Year.

49ers Hall of Fame

Back in August when I visited the San Francisco 49ers new Levi's Stadium, I also visited their Hall of Fame inside of the new stadium. The members of the 49ers Hall of Fame are some the greatest players in the game and with the Niners season coming to a close I finally decided to share. Here the statues of the members of 49ers Hall of Fame:

Fred Dean

Dwight Clark (making what is know as "The Catch"

R.C. Owens

The Million Dollar Backfield (Hugh McElhenny, Joe Perry, Y.A. Title and John Henry Johnson)

Jimmy Johnson

Bob St.Clair

Roger Craig

Jerry Rice

Dave Wilcox

John Brodie

Steve Young

Ronnie Lott

Leo Nomellini (L) and Charlie Kruger

Gordy Soltau

Joe Montana (L) and Bill Walsh

It was great seeing the 49er legends almost come alive in the 49ers Hall of Fame.

Happy Hoildays

To anybody that has ever stumbled across this or reads it on a regular basis, THANK YOU VERY MUCH and may you have a very good and blessed Happy Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.

Music Monday: My Favs in Xmas Music

Can't believe that I have been doing this Xmas for the last four weeks but here are my all-time favorite Xmas songs (minus two-since I have already used them in previous blogs):

The last one is not really considered a Xmas song but it is from my second favorite Xmas movie and I wish everybody would do what song asks (I decided to use the closing scene of the movie because I love it):

Hope everybody has a Happy and safe Xmas.

Bah Humbug #1

People around me, say that I am the original Grinch. I am not a huge fan of the so-called Christmas season as promoted by the retailers and such. But I should share some Xmas cheer here in some images I took;

Hershey's Chocolate World

Inside "New York, New York" casino and hotel, there lies a place that is very tempting and it is called Hershey's Chocolate World. It is all things Hershey's:

And they do sell candy:

To me, the coolest thing there was this Statue Of Liberty made out of chocolate:
