  • 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.  However, recently we’ve intentionally […]

  • This could really be a good life, a good, good life

    Posted on November 2, 2011 by KK in Berkeley, family.

    So, yesterday morning, I had stayed home from the office to get some administrative work and some staff gift-making done free from office distractions. At some point, I looked around and thought “this is basically our day to day life personified” so I documented the moment, for your viewing pleasure. Here is Dan, attaching baskets […]

  • The earth moved under my feet…

    Posted on October 21, 2011 by KK in Berkeley.

    You got the song reference right? In case you heard, we had two earthquakes today, both about 4.0, both actually centered in Berkeley, on the Hayward Fault. (Yes, for as great as it is to live here, I live 2 blocks off a major fault.) One was actually centered at one of our residential complexes […]

  • 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. But mostly, it was lovely to people watch. The following list doubles as “things we saw today” and “reasons why berkeley will never […]

  • 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. I’ve started getting all into farmer’s markets and reusable shopping bags and all that business. And compared to my life before I got here, I feel like I do a lot of things […]

  • November, one day at a time

    Posted on November 9, 2008 by Dan in Berkeley, concerts, family, friends, San Francisco, we're crazy liberals.

    Well, it’s already the second weekend of November, and I haven’t told you all thank you so much for my birthday wishes yet, which is not cool of me. So, THANK YOU! I feel very loved and appreciated. Thanks for the cards, Facebook notes, phone calls, flowers, emails, etc. You are all awesome. A lot […]

  • 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 […]

  • Other California goings on…

    Posted on September 26, 2008 by Dan in Berkeley, Cal, stupid people.

    I am on a posting ROLL people! I hope you’re as impressed with me as I am with myself. So what do I actually have to talk about… *I’m 38 books into my goal of reading 50 books this year. It’s feeling very accomplishable at this point. Plus, books are moving out of the house […]

  • 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 […]
