Session 2 FromĀ Mark Latiner’s kitchen in Richmond, CA you can see the north end of the San Francisco Bay, the refineries crowding Richmond Point, and, further out toward the coast, Mount Tamalpais and its redwood groves and oak woodlands. Mark and I hung out in his garden one Sunday in July as the sun started to break through the fog. It seemed a long way from the Nob Hill neighborhood in the city where he and I were neighbors during the heady dot-com days. At our Web company, we ran a series of performances during which he wore a white lab coat and glasses mounted with tiny flashlights. The lab coat may be retired, but Mark’s finding new ways to entertain. His latest role is performing as father to his sprightly 14-month-old baby girl.
