C. and I have arrived in the Bay Area, and I have started working.  I can't really talk much about work, so please don't ask me about it here.

After having some really good dim sum in Foster City, we spent yesterday afternoon in the East Bay, revisiting our old stomping grounds and figuring out what's still there, what's new, and what's no longer around.  We also picked up some supplies that we need for the hotel room, which C. is now calling the "cave room".  We stopped in at the Scharffen Berger Chocolate Factory in Berkeley to check out the factory store and enjoy the intense chocolate aroma, and had dinner at the Genova Delicatessen on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland.

After that, we took BART into San Francisco to hang out with some of the interns from the GSB who are here in the Bay Area for the summer, and are getting ready to wrap up their internships.  The ones I got to talk with sounded like they all found their internships worthwhile, and were all excited about returning to Chicago as second-year students.  I also got to meet some people whom I hadn't met before, and who share several of my interests, so it was definitely a good night.
