Frith O’Steen

Ok, I know some folks don’t agree, but I’ve always thought the big boxy walk-through waterfall fountain at Justin Herman Plaza in SF was way cool, and I have very fond memories of playing around there as a little kid with my family. I brought Decker with me to meet Tully for lunch today, and we ate in the Embarcadero and I saw the water is turned back on! Hooray! I took Decker for a walk around it, and he seemed to be a little confused about what to make of this giant bathtub with huge faucets.

Went to dinner with some former students (Garett, Donna, Farouk) and my former boss and co-worker (Roseanne and Patrick). We met at Jupiters’ in Bezerkeley and had a nice time catching up. Can’t believe move-in weekend for Cal is almost here again. I miss the people at Berkeley, but I sure as hell don’t miss the craziness of welcome week! (Well, caveat to that - being a true campus geek, I do love the excitement and buzz in the air that comes at the beginning of each school year. Heck, I may even go to Calapalooza just for old times’ sake. But I will be fervently grateful the entire time that it wasn’t me that had to plan it this year!).

The Gap Inc. office building is seriously amazing. My sisters can never quit their jobs - I have too much fun living vicariously through them. :)
