Andie wanted to have extra envelopes just in case, and also for keep sake. I pasted the flap and watched Michael Clayton at the same time. It has been a long time since I took time to watch a movie. Prior to that, I also did my toe nails. Don't know if the proxide is working or not, but I feel better doing something for the whitening on the left big toe nail. Another rare treat on self pampering. It has gotten that the only time for such "private time" is when I walk Billy. A time that I used to listen to audio books on my iPod. Don't do that any more, I find it important to have time to not feeding my mind with external stuff... taking the time to breath the air, feel the sea breeze on my face, look at the trees, the flowers, the gleaming Puget Sound water under the sunlight with snow capped mountain over the horizon, listen to the birds and stopping to say hello and talk to people.
Met Heather at Sea Garden and had our usual crab with ginger and green onion and pea vine for lunch. Guy next table was having wonton soup and it looked absolutely delicious, so I also ordered a wonton soup. Heather has been doing wonderful work for Microsoft India. We chatted about each other's work and life and decided that we need and want to meet more often to share and discuss reflections from our respective lives and work.
Meitsu, Adam and Betty came to talk about the FLAP grant content and what to expect. Then Bider Chinese' Jianmin Chen came over to demo his product, language software. Wonderful to be teaching Chinese at this juncture of history: so much support, attention and tools. Very exciting things happen when a team of crazies, passionate professionals get together and work for a common goal. Adam and I decided to start writing readers. Betty and Adam absolutely love Juei-chuan's rap and think my idea for rapping Chinese classics is a great idea. SPS will be our first customer if we actually produce series of such learning material. Make lively the learning process. Ah, the energy!
