(More)About this blog: In January 2002 I started writing my own online "newspaper" titled "The San Ramon Observer." I reported on City Council meetings and other happenings in San Ramon. I tried to be objective in my coverage of meetings and events, and saved my barbs for my Commentary page. I had some political differences with the City Council at that time and particularly with the majority dubbed "The Gang of Three," by the San Ramon Valley Times. In 2003 new Council members were elected and the Council was more balanced and fiscally conservative, but I continued to write the Observer until 2009. At that point I decided I wanted to concentrate on my commentaries. So I requested a meeting with the editor and publisher of the Danville Weekly about taking over the San Ramon Observer. My timing was very apropos since the parent company, Embarcadero Media, was planning to release an online San Ramon Express that April. I was offered a "blog" under the name "San Ramon Observer" for my commentaries. I like to inform residents about what is happening in San Ramon, especially on city government and local politics. When I don't have anything to write about on those topics, I just write about anything I am doing or thinking about.

Here are some helpful sayings I use to keep me sane (although a lot of people would disagree with that).
1. Always yell at someone when they are not there and not when they are there. You won't be interrupted, you won't have to answer any of their questions, and there won't be any hard feelings on their part when you are through.
2. Anyone who sticks their neck out should expect to have their head handed to them.
3. No good deed goes unpunished. (an oldie but goodie)
4. Being very smart is very difficult to explain to people who are not.
5. Where's the box everyone is supposed to be in? I can't find mine.
6. Don't kill yourself. It's not worth giving your enemies the satisfaction.
7. People who are paid a lot are not necessarily worth more. They only think they are.
8. Cats are better company than people. A lot of you already knew that.
9. Yelling at someone who isn't there (see #1 above) will only give you a sore throat and not hurt them at all.
10. Anyone who takes this list seriously (no snide replies), is all screwed up.
Democracy.
What is it worth to you?
