Bernal Heights City Walk
Posted on September 25, 2008 by Dan in city walks, San Francisco.A few weekends ago (before the arrival of the CC en masse) we had grand plans for our weekend, which included venturing to a new brunch place that Dan had actually heard of. This was a big deal, because usually I’m the one doing the researching of places I want to try, or explore or […]

A year in the life
Posted on February 9, 2008 by Dan in Cal, city walks, family, friends, kitties, San Francisco, travel.I was sitting around here tonight enjoying my fantastically quiet evening and realizing that this time last February I was still in grad school. In fact, this time last year I was probably sitting at home hanging out doing nothing (unless Dana dragged me out on the town) and watching TV. Isn’t it crazy what […]

Walk 2
Posted on November 14, 2007 by Dan in city walks, San Francisco.This is actually our third walking tour, but it’s number 2 in the book. We’re rebels going out of order, like George Lucas and Star Wars. (A terrible analogy for humor, but I love people who get it.) Our tour took us on top of one of the 42 hills in San Francisco, and we […]

That’s what I do…I make glass tubes.
Posted on October 9, 2007 by Dan in city walks, food, kitties, wine.So, Rosa left out a very important fact from our walk in the city (our city walk, if you will). One of the points on the tour was the site of Philo Farnsworth’s lab when he was developing all his patents for the first television. This is the best Sportsnight reference I have ever seen […]

Guest Blogger: Ro!
Posted on October 5, 2007 by Dan in city walks, food, friends, San Francisco.Greetings world!Since KK and Dan are horrible at updating their blog in a timely manner, I flew here all the way from Reston to regulate. I arrived in Berkeley Tuesday night and was taken to Yoghurt Park, a fat-free frozen yoghurt place that is “REEEEEEEALLY GOOD.” It was late and the line was still out […]

Walk 5 & The cool gray city of love
Posted on September 9, 2007 by Dan in city walks, San Francisco.The city plan of San Francisco was laid out with straight lines, much like Washington DC. However, the planner didn’t change any of the straight lines to accomodate for the 42 hills that make up the city. So, San Francisco was built on hills too steep for roads or at least any horse & buggy […]
