The Awakening, East Potomac Park in Washington, DC• Fall 2005

I guess this gives new meaning to "seize the day."

 This sculpture, by J. Seward Johnson, Jr. was placed at Hains Point for the 1980 International Sculpture Exhibition and Conference. Whatever its history, it's way cool.

Another view.

From the sublime to the ridiculous. . . here we are, playing tourist.

Berry Mountains Granville Public Market 

Vancouver's a big city, tons of condos and high-rises. A reclaimed patch of land just to the southeast, across False Creek, is the Granville Public Market. We went there Saturday, one of two sunny days in a week of rain.

 ETOX Lunch Bunch Vancouver, Canada September 2006 Every year Dave's lab gets together for a lunch--past and present students. This year Andrew Grosovsky joined us. We ate at Imperial Chinese Seafood Restaurant, although after eating there, we think it could have been named Highly Imperious Chinese Seafood Restaurant. Good food, though.

Disney Concert Hall 

Los Angeles, California Dave and I walked all around this place near sunset, when the blue tones of night were creeping in. You could use up a whole disk taking photos of Gehry's intriguing creation.
