it's been a good week in san francisco.

today, april thirtieth, was just declared "not for sale" day in san francisco. how 'bout that? i just came from a not for sale press conference where we heard from the hard working usf erasmus program students (they've put in hundreds of hours of research to expose trafficking in san francisco), a san francisco board of supervisors rep, carmen chu (who is working hard to change legislation in the city) and giants middle relief pitcher jeremy affeldt (who unfortunately helped the giants beat the dodgers last night, but that's another story). it was fantastic to hear everyone talk about their hard work and recognize them for their contributions to ending human trafficking in san francisco and around the globe (read about what jeremy is doing here).

and! this past sunday the dalai lama decided to hang out with some of my friends at martin's. from what i understand he sounds like a pretty chill guy; if only he could come to thursday morning coffee hour to hear us talk about things that spit, bill's free masters from oxford for staying out of jail and the over-hyped swine flu. i definitely think he'd have something to contribute. and he'd think we were funny. duh.
