Among all the amusing things I came across today, the idea of reopening Alcatraz prison really stood out. I can’t help but wonder how the project will turn out. One article mentioned that it “would be substantially enlarged and rebuilt.” Although the prison has been shut since 1963, it seems the planners are undeterred. During a visit, a tourist shared, “I think it’s one of the stupidest ideas I’ve ever heard in my life,” which seems to echo what many of our elected officials might be thinking.
When I was a kid, there was a wild prison break; I wasn’t sure how many inmates were involved. My mom and I were sitting on the grass at Aquatic Park, and we could all hear the gunfire from the area. It’s understandable to want to open it up after spending a billion dollars on repairs. That seems reasonable, especially since they already have signs prepared in Florida.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
