  1. Talk with parents always uplifting. Resuming 京都 trip plan with mom (AND dad) sometime this year. Dad's heart set on a specific kaiseki meal.
  2. My neighbor who summers in Sun Valley: the aspens are turning yellow and orange, the mountain peaks are dusted with snow and the air is crisp and clear
  3. A Fortune 500 wealthy family in negotiations to acquire a Berkeley Claremont Court home. Shouldn't reveal the details until the deal is done
  4. Baking in the sun at a ladies' lunch. (The Claremont Book Club opening luncheon) Thought it was going to be cool today. Luckily, I have my hat.
  5. Braved hot steampunk Santa Rosa Sunday. Here are photos from The Great Handcar Regatta 2009. http://bit.ly/444VbY Railroad Square Depot Park
  6. Who created this bird with shells? MoMA New York lets people take photos, but then it's hard to remember artists' names. http://bit.ly/cF1V4

  10. Dad's partner's pure EV sports car project may get controlled by a Silicon Valley consortium. Not enough to own the know-how. Need funding.
  11. NASA photos from repaired Hubble Space Telescope http://bit.ly/1pXEDP, the first data obtained since a crew spent 13 days in orbit in May.
  12. Intelligent Transport System (ITS)? Which is closer, a rice cooker and an airport pod, or an iPod and an airport pod? http://bit.ly/3XRkJ
  13. http://bit.ly/3bt8Lx Singapore is spreading "Asian romance, rejuvenation and sensuality," "exclusive properties costing US$3,300 a night."
