Five years ago today, serenejournal and I had our first in person date. I met her at the Bayfair BART station on a Sunday. I was uncharacteristically bold (blame it on pent-up anticipation) and finagled a kiss right away. After a ride on BART, we wandered Shattuck Avenue and a little of University in Berkeley. Ate freshly made potato chips and leek soup at Mel's (which is now some unnamed restaurant, I think they are calling it Mike's?). We managed to visit The Other Change of Hobbit (my favorite genre bookstore) and ended up at a coffee shop on University (whose name I know but will not attempt spell). It was much too short a date. I love you Buttercup. Thank you so much for the last five years.

I think the restaurant is now called Fin's.

Congratulations on the anniversary!

Thank you. I figured I would get the name wrong. I had some vague memory that the Mel's sign in the mural near the ceiling had been changed to Mike's , but I think the restaurant has changed owners a second time since the mural was "corrected".

You are so good for serenejournal and she for you. Yay both of you!!

The coffee shop is Au Coquelet. Save it and you can spell it next year.

Wow time flies!
