In May, I spend a weekend in that city by the bay. Mostly staying and hanging out with Evan, a great friend from high school, as well as considering UC Berkeley for grad school. Also included: Oakland cafés, Palais des Beaux Arts, the Golden Gate, donuts and Chinese food, shiny tech start-ups, trips by BART, and the best weather I was told I would ever experience in San Francisco? It was beautiful, and I hope to be back very soon.

UC Berkeley. When I was a kid it was the neighborhood university. Now it is place where men like me are not welcome.
