I’m sitting in my hotel room (okay, laying on the bed) and watching Japanology on NHK World.

Mother’s Bistro and Bar - super cute place and yummy food.

Crunchy French toast (they use corn flakes) and pork apple sausage!

Busted!

I was on the red line and was going to blow off the a.m. talks (we have the afternoon free) but I ran into a former prof on the train and had to get off. I’m going to sneak out of here shortly.

Fun fact

Apparently 90% of the serotonin produced by the body is made in the gut.

(I want to find a specific source for this but I heard this at a talk this morning (given by a pathologist who taught me in vet school).)

Voodoo interrupted

A bunch of us headed to Voodoo but the line was huge and the gay pride paarade was today so it was extra busy. I’m here til Thursday morning so I have timd to go back. I’m going to try the ones Robert and Mike suggested (if not more…)

The trip to Voodoo Donuts with my former co-worker has been planned for lunch.

Bless TriMet light rail for an easy way to get there.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

Also... Gnomes and gardens and cats and dogs and hiking and nature and nephews/nieces and more.
