Learn how to crack a whip (literally) #55
Posted on November 7, 2012 by KK in 100 things, Berkeley, random.A couple of weeks ago, Dan told me that we were going on a date on a weekend morning, which I completely assumed was code for ‘we’re trying a new brunch place.’ But instead, we walked down to our local park, where we met up with Charles. Dan had arranged for him to meet us […]

Gone Shopping
Posted on March 28, 2012 by Dan in Berkeley, family, food.Back in November, we showed you a bit of our day to day life. I was planning to just update with a relevant photo, but then I realized this how reflective it was of our life week to week. I hardly think of our life and work as anything but routine.

Day at the park
Posted on April 20, 2009 by Dan in Berkeley.Dan and I went to our favorite nearby park today because it was HOT outside. It was lovely to sit in the shade, eat some cheese and drink a bottle of wine.

The post in which I make you feel bad.
Posted on November 24, 2008 by Dan in Berkeley, lists, we're crazy liberals.So, it’s no secret that since moving to cali I’ve become even more of a crazy liberal hippie than I was before.

Election Day!
Posted on November 4, 2008 by Dan in Berkeley, we're crazy liberals.Well, I’m up late studying for election day. Seriously, I’m studying and doing research. Between elected positions, state proposition and city measures, there are THIRTY EIGHT items on the City of Berkeley ballot. I haven’t studied this hard in awhile. I have a cheat sheet. Luckily, my polling place is literally in my unit (I […]

More late night thoughts
Posted on July 17, 2008 by Dan in Berkeley, Cal, friends, work.*So believe it or not, Dan and I have lived here for a year. Our moving anniversary passed last week on July 8th. Crazy I tell you. I think I missed it because I’ve blocked the memory of our incredibly stressful moving process. *Public transportation pet peeves: Missing a bus by mere inches. People who […]
