I don’t have a photo of my dad handy, but this is just as good. Maybe better. He grew up in the 1930s Haight/Ashbury. He loved to tell stories about walking across the bridge on opening day and sneaking into Sutro Baths. He loved to cook and eat. He was always bringing home abandoned animals and people who needed a nice meal. I remember he cried when Bobby Kennedy was shot. He was a proud union man and loved watching old movies late at night. He taught me to speak my mind and was always interested in my opinion. He passed suddenly when I was ten, just a few days before the opening of BART, which he was very excited about and planned to ride on opening day. Photo credit: @karlthefog

“At forty-five, I feel grateful almost daily to be the adult I wished I could be when I was seventeen. I work on my arm strength at the gym; I’ve become pretty good with tools.

At the same time, almost daily, I lose battles with the seventeen-year-old who’s still inside me. I eat half a box of…
