A classmate of mine from business school committed suicide on Sunday. I only knew him for a long weekend. That was the first time I met him and the last time I saw him. I was the one doe-eyed first…
The Albatross
Last night was a blast, hanging out at the Albatross Pub in Berkeley. The Albatross is the bomb-diggety of bars. Convenient and easy to park. The drinks are cheap. Lots of different beer on tap. House wine and premier wine….
