Hello, how are you doing? I was craving art, and wow–did I get it! Ming and I went to a special graffiti place near Vallejo, California. This is my favorite art there, I think. I stared at it for a long time. I love the swirly 8-like symbols and the wise alien elder looking on. … Read More »

On Saturday, we served on the soupline, an honor to give water, trail mix, and chocolate chip granola bars to many houseless people. Yes, I love to work the water table! Water is my favorite!
