I went to visit Dave last weekend in Boulder, and decided that I’m going to live there when I grow up (roughly 7-15 years from now, if it ever happens). It was a most excellent weekend, despite the only furniture in Dave’s apartment being a rug and cardboard boxes. Saturday was beautiful and sunny, so [...]

Dave visits California (and we don’t do anything crazy)
June 9th, 2009 1 Comment
Dave came to visit me in Berkeley, but due to his injured knees, we couldn’t do anything too intense. We still went to the beach and flew kites, and had picnics in various locations, but we had much more free time for liesurely activities than we usually do. Hence, we decided to take up a [...]

We left Berkeley at around 7pm and rolled into the campground around 11:30. After searching for awhile we found an [...]
