REMINDER: San Fran Int’l

REMINDER:
PEARLS
of wisdom

I have a long-standing addiction to pasta. More accurately, I am addicted to that slightly drowsy, completely relaxed feeling I have when I finish a beautiful Italian meal. My friends have been trying to get me to read Wheat Belly, but I’ve resisted for fear that I would end up having to give up my favorite pasta, whole wheat couscous. I cannot bear the thought. So, this next Call comes from San Francisco which has nothing to do with couscous, but the last time I made a Rice-A-Roni segue, I got email for weeks. So, my stream of consciousness led me to couscous. I know, random. Regardless, don’t miss this next Call…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Photographica (San Francisco, CA) for the San Francisco International Photography Exhibition to be held at Studio 17 Gallery. The entry fee can be as low as $25; the juror is excellent, and the prizes are great. This one might be perfect for you!
