The guy in the left-hand corner (orange coat) is my lifelong pal, Aiko Jim. He is employed by the California Academy of Sciences. Looks like a fun place to put in a 40-hour work week. The photo made the Chronicle about a week ago. Needless to say, I'm thrilled at my friend's good fortune in the working world. He deserves it.C.A.S. re-opened in it's original spot in Golden Gate Park last weekend. The San Francisco landmark underwent an extensive makeover, which took about 4 years. That dome with portholes is part of the roof garden. This place is beyond description. Do see it if you are so-inclined. Meanwhile, the above link is well worth your time.

Oh AWESOME!!!!! I loved the CAS. It's one of my fave museums. Saw Laser Floyd there once. It was soooo cool.
what a lucky guy =)...good for him...
I can't wait to go and explore. It looks like a fantastic place.
Sweeet! I hope we can go next spring.
I always liked John Denver's version of this song, but I'd never heard McCartney sing it. Very nice -- hard to go wrong with Paul :-)
Late breaking party tip:

Wow, just lovely! I am pretty nostalgic over the place these days, really want to go back.
PS: Palin's winking nearly drove me over the fucking edge.
I need to get up to San Francisco again one of these days. NorCal is so much more beautiful and interesting than SoCal.
Oh man, it's about time. I still remember seeing the crocs in the entrance and people throwing coins on them. ; (
We need to get back to the bay area for a visit.
I read about this in the New York Times--very cool! And how fun that your friend works there.
I read the Chron article on opening day...we're going there, for sure! It looks so innovative and interesting...!
For kids and grownups alike!
