MEXICAN MUSEUM - This post is a snippet of a longer article take from the Chronicle, see below for the link to the full article. San Francisco’s Mexican Museum is currently located at Fort Mason Center. A new building is in the planning stages, to be located in Yerba Buena, near the SFMOMA and the Jewish Museum. Construction on the multi-million project will begin as soon as late 2014. The collection contains pre-conquest, colonial, folk, Mexican/ Chicano as well as contemporary art. The picture depicts the proposed plan for the new building.

ABLE, BAKER, CHARLIE, DOG SHORT STORY REVIEW
ABLE,
BAKER, CHARLIE, DOG SHORT STORY REVIEW - This short story is part of a larger
work by the author entitled Sweet Talk. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker
numerous times over a twenty year period. I haven’t read any of the other
stories, so this review only pertains to: Able, Barker, Charlie, Dog
by Stephanie Vaughn. The story is spare and haunting, centering on the
first person narrator’s perceptions of her father, as they changed over time.
The title is derived from a trick to memorize the alphabet, that she learned at
age twelve years, taught to her by her father, used by the military to keep the
B’s separate from the V’s. Throughout the story, he (the father) teaches life
lessons, he is a good man, while at the same time, that he is deeply flawed, as
a human being. Thematically, this is Vaughn’s moral of the story: even at our
best, we’re still capable of our worst.
