After we arrived in Berkeley it began to rain hard so we hitchhiked with another dad and son we met in downtown Berkeley to a child/parent activity center in NW Berkeley.

After we arrived in Berkeley it began to rain hard so we hitchhiked with another dad and son we met in downtown Berkeley to a child/parent activity center in NW Berkeley.

It's nice though not as nice as a Hamilton County park space. Six rooms with a small jungle gym and slide, dollhouses, a concert area and dance space. $7 for EACH of us (!)

Anyway, we had fun. The place is like Adar care where you have to stay with your kid. It necessary I guess if you're isolated by your affluence. These people don't think of themselves as wealthy but then neither do we.

There's a party --octoberfest -- tonight at sojourners we'll try to attend.

We walked (Uly in the stroller) from the activity center after 2.75 hrs of play. MpStopped at nearby chipotle for late lunch at 1:30. Uly slept after that all the way thru a 1 hr walk in the rain and while I browsed at an electric car dealership.

We're kinds soggy now and riding the train to its southern terminus to pass some time before the party.

There's apparently wifi on the bart subway system.

It is rainy so Uly and I are riding the rails today and will do the circuit of the bay area. He's in the stroller since daddy needs a break from carrying him.

I'm writing this from my iPod. It's the handiest tool I've yet owned. A real pocket net device. Returns like mine run $170 on apple.com.

Were going very fast under the bay right now maybe 70 mph.

We're eating a bunch of grapes I bought in the Mission. Some folks on the train are drinking some bud light. Looks good.

Fun and challenging trip

Having a good time with a lot of challenges. We're here in SF from Oct 29 thru Nov 5.

The idea is to give Beck a baby free week before the new baby comes.

Halloween was cool. Uly met the girl of his dreams--she was dressed as the cookie monster. :)

He finally slept thru the night last night. He is doing well--not missing mom top much.
