Blinking is good for you: you need those moments of void to make sense of the world. Life is as much about what isn't there, as what is.

Christmas 2007
The whole family (all 6 of us) spent Christmas eve together in Oregon at the Eastburn/Folts homestead, where we feasted on Mom's corn casserole (an ever-growing popular dish around this time of the year) and I tried a new recipe for nut loaf that turned out to look like a loaf of something, just nothing edible. Here's some pics of the family in action. It was a glutonous night and santa brought some fun presents, especially treasured were a book on Haku Maki (one of my favorite Japanese artists - see my blog below on LACMA) and a pretty diamond Seiko watch (what can I say, I like shinny, pretty things and this one has a purpose too!) Steven gave me a ticket for a free flight, and since he didn't specify how far we could go, I think I'll ask him to take us to Hawaii...
I like to learn things: not enough that I'm an expert on anything, but just enough to satisfy my daily recommended requirement by the USDA. By day I teach graduate level creative writing classes, by night I'm an avid Sims player, lindy dance learner, foodie, collector of mid-century furniture, potter, karaoke singer and bike rider.
