The Relic

Well, all those sayings like " you can never go back" or "nothing stays the same" blah, blah,blah....guess they are true. The cafe on the corner of Bancroft and Telegraph where Della and I used to play Scrabble is now a (sob!)....Subway! For that matter, many of the small cafes and even Peets have been taken over by Starbucks. Cody's is an empty shell decorated by graffiti. Sigh. John was happy to see that Blondies pizza still remained although slices are definitely no longer a dollar! And we stopped in at Moe's to browse the books. Good to see that longevity!

We stopped by John's old lab and the grad students there gave us the tour and were good sports about the walk down memory lane. John's trap was still there ( see above) and they wondered if we wanted to take it home with us : >

Isaac was very interested in the science building and the lab. He thinks he might want to go to UC Berkeley. Let's hope that translates to good study habits coming soon!

And was that trace of song at Sproul Plaza the ghost of Rick Starr??
