Stars and stripes

On a recent walk up the hill, we noticed an unusual number of people were gathered outside our local pizza joint, Goat Hill Pizza. They appeared to be filming something. To say that this doesn't happen very often in Potrero Hill is like saying our compost bin only has a few fruit flies in it.

I asked a large man sitting at a console with a lot of buttons and a little screen what was going on.

"We're shooting a little thing with Danny Glover," he told me nonchalantly.

And sure enough, as we walked up the block there was Danny Glover walking and talking with the director.

Not wanting to gawk, we continued walking on up the hill toward the library.

"Danny Glover got old!" I observed to Eric.

A woman, clearly part of the crew, happened to be walking by us just at that moment. She burst out laughing.

There were no stars, young or old, at the library when we got there. Only beekkeeping books. Luckily that's what we wanted.
