This is the first week in December, leading up to the holiday and the season of giving. This is the only time of the year where I've been able to make some really good money going out and busking, so today I am going to start doing that for the next four weeks. I'll be downtown at the Powell BART station playing my recorder, flute and sax, Christmas songs and jazz improvisations, trying to do it every afternoon for at least three hours. Or at a different downtown SF BART station, or in the Castro.

I hope I make enough money to make it worthwhile for me. I sure need it!
