Getting lost inside Powell's. Sitting at Stumptown for five hours at a time. Whole Foods' sammies. Volunteer work. Africa. Track bikes. Road bikes. Cross bikes. Athleticism. Soccer. Good People. Good Beers. Great Naps. Cycling. The hidden treasures of Bernal Heights, Noe Valley and the Mission. MUNI.
Being Italian. Being from San Francisco. Never letting anyone forget it.

The work of those who help women and children all over the world fight the spread of HIV and AIDS. The people who put food in others' mouths, shoes on their feet, and a roof over their heads. Those that do the best they can with what they have. Individuals who define integrity. People who use all of their resources to enrich the lives of others. Those with big hearts.
