好天气




The beautiful weather continues today and it’s great news for the Gay Pride Parade. It’s funny to see politicians riding in open-hood cars as the crowd cheers them on. It’s probably the biggest ovation they had ever received, but I don’t intend to be sarcastic—it is a day to celebrate diversity and tolerance, and anyone who shows up, regardless of their orientation and persuasion, deserves a cheer.

I took the BART and got off at Glen Park, an often overlooked neighborhood of the city. I believe it is only my second time in this neighborhood. The first was when I volunteered for some charity organization (licking envelopes!). This charming area is filled with small shops and cafes, and I stopped by one of them, the Destination Baking Company. There are only two tables inside and I sat near the big windows, with sunlight generously streaming in. Oh, and great bread pudding they got here.
