First it was a garage!

One afternoon, I rode my bicycle through the streets of downtown Berkeley. Almost getting struck by a car, I turned around to complain. That moment, I noticed the sign "For Lease" in the windows of an old garage. It reminded me of a school that I had 30 years before in Brazil. It was love at first sight and I decided to move in.
Lots of brain cooking a porridge of sweat, dust, and love we had it.
