Keeping things up north this week. Arlington Park is off of Arlington (duh). Parking is free and is available alongside the road. For those of you coming from Oakland, taking I-580 and going on I-80 after the split is your best bet. You would want to take exit 15 for Potrero Ave. Here is the address: 1120 Arlington Here is a map. See you there! | ||

Hi there Dads! I am a former member of East Bay Dads. My son is now almost 8, in second grade, and we don't tend to go to parks for playdates any more. I wanted to let all of you know about a preschool my wife and I are starting in the Oakland/Piedmont area, We are hosting some Informational Meetings about the school this coming Wednesday and Sunday, Details are below. Take care, Tim Silk **** happytogeher Preschool Coming in January 2010... An intimate, part day program for 3-5 year olds grounded in a play-based, constructivist philosophy. We will develop children's emotional literacy by emphasizing principles of self-expression, connection and well-being. The school will be inspired by Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication and infused with the latest scientific research on nurturing happiness and compassion among children. Children's world view will be expanded by immersing ourselves in Jewish cultural traditions and Spanish language activities. Informational Meetings: Wed, Oct 14, 11-noon Sun, Oct 18, 4-5pm Location: 1300 Grand Ave, Piedmont, CA 94610 RSVP to Monica at (510) 705-2849 or monica@happytogetherpreschool.com

We are extremely lucky this week as esteemed author Jeremy Adam Smith will be joining us for our little playgroup. He recently wrote The Daddy Shift, which charts the rise of us stay at home dads. I read the book and you should too: go buy it! He has done some cool stuff and we are lucky to have him. Wanna check out more about him? Look at his website. I have heard him speak on a radio show and he can give one hell of a talk. We'll have to see if he can do so while drinking beer! We are going to the Berkeley Aquatic Park. There are a few big play structures, swings, lots of grass for playing on, and a path for the big kids to ride bikes on. (Kinda similar to Orinda park, but more fog and hippies.) Aquatic Park is just south of University Avenue, between Highway 80 and San Pablo. The easiest approach is to take 6th Street and turn down Bancroft (heading west, toward the water), crossing the train tracks, then turn left on the road that just parallels the water. Here is a map. Let's have a great turnout! | ||
