Japan does bathrooms better than anywhere else, including public toilets.
Singapore – June
We went to Singapore (first time for both of us) because Brendan was co-chairing a SREcon, but we took some extra time to sightsee and get together with friends and fellow alumni of Woodstock School.
Sometimes you need to get away to get perspective on everything in your day-to-day life. Middle-of-nowhere, New Mexico, is a fine and beautiful place to do that.
Only in Las Vegas… I wasn’t a fan before, and I’m not now, but playing minigolf under blacklight with dayglo balls is some kind of cool. Also got video clips of some rather sad animatronic robots.
During my recent trip to New Orleans, I spent a night with my cousin Celia. The next morning she took me on a private Katrina tour, recounting her own experiences as well as what happened then and is happening now in our ancestral city. I’ve divided approximately 30 minutes of footage into topical segments, and will be publishing them one at a time. There’s a lot of information to absorb here. Much of it makes me very sad.
Note: Celia speaks of her “transplant kids”. She is a nurse, and at the time worked with children awaiting kidney transplants.
