Thirty one for today, covering Thursday and Friday, I’ll do Saturday and Sunday tomorrow. Thursday, we drove into the city in the morning so Liz could interview some parents of toddlers about their search for the right pre-school. Probably because she looks so young, a couple of the moms wondered about my presence there. Was I observing her? Actually I was sitting there in a state of shock from being in California. And also thinking that those young moms were much more informed and articulate about their pre-school preferences than I ever was. I was totally clueless back in the day! After that, we had a little tea at a coffee shop — the staff talked me into pomegranite — and then headed back to Berkeley, had a little quick lunch at her apartment and she went to work to put the interview together for the show on Sunday while I worked on homework and then went out walking. That evening, we drove down to Oakland and had dinner while her roommate Jess had a job interview. It was in Oakland where we encountered the earthquake that I didn’t feel and the scary street person. Friday, Liz worked in the morning and I walked around Berkeley some more and then sat in an internet cafe and worked on homework while watching a street person more or less directly outside my window get himself up and organize his pizza boxes and other belongings. I didn’t realize he was there when I sat down and a big brick pillar partially hid him, so I was really not acting as a voyeur, as much as it might sound like I was. Liz and I reconnected about mid-morning and caught the BART into San Francisco where we rode the cable car, then walked down around the “warf” and then Chinatown. We did not do Alcatraz or anything too scheduled. It was just fun to walk around and soak up the atmosphere. Anyway, click here or on Liz’s pic to view my loverly pictures.
