Ruthie’s adorable wiener dog mix, Monty, is a little firecracker. It’s astounding that he stood still long enough for me to take this photo.

PhD people’s backyard

The house Brian and his two grad student roomies share has this backyard that’s looks like it’s been growing wild for twenty years resulting in some of the biggest rose bushes I’ve ever seen. Brian and Ruthie have recently tamed a good chunk of it and planted a little garden for the skunk garden gnome to wander around in.

I flew out to SFO to meet my pal Brian, an initially camera-shy, smarty-pants PhD candidate at UC Davis. We had some decent tapas at Esperpento in the Mission district before driving out to Davis. It’s a cute neighborhood kinda joint, but it doesn’t really compare to the yumminess that is Estadio.

1785 Massachusetts Ave. NW is the current home of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, though they’ve been trying to sell the building for the past few years. I would love to see it return to it’s original purpose of luxury apartments, but the lack of parking and the noise of Mass Ave. probably preclude that possibility.
