I thought we would do this award show style… Best use of flags: Biggest crowd pleaser:In the car there on the left side is the SF mayor Gavin Newsom. Seriously, when his car came by I thought maybe the Beatles were in the parade. People LOVE him. (Sidenote – I work with the man in […]
Continue Reading... Comments Off on SF Pride Parade ’08I 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 […]
Continue Reading... 3 Comments.So, as many of you know, a month ago (yes, it has now been a month. bad friend, bad friend!) Dana came to visit me. She works in admissions at Ohio Wesleyan, and part of her area to recruit is Washington and Oregon – so once a year, she’ll get to take a couple of […]

(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 […]

Dan’s parents were just here for a short visit – I wish […]
Continue Reading... 2 Comments.I never got to update about a fun program that I did last week. Each of my RAs (I supervise 12 of them) have to do various programs throughout the semester – one that builds community (primarily social), one that is educational/academic, and one that either relates to service or leadership. Juan, one of my […]

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 […]
Continue Reading... 5 Comments.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 […]
