Thursday night – Hugh Laurie, the actor who plays the irascible Dr. House on Fox, made an appearance on Jay Leno’s show (since NBC produces “House”). So good! Entertainment Weekly – Star Wars preview. Whoa. EW reports that “House” is No. 4 in the ratings. “Joan of Arcadia” may be risking cancellation. EW also highlighted [...]

P and I on line at American to check in to the Tokyo flight. We’ll be in Nagoya on Sunday, and Taipei on Wednesday. My mom is ok; folks at the school are sending her flowers. We’ll see you on the other side.

Upon leaving, P-’s [...]

Made a quick run to DC’s Chinatown during a break Tuesday. The traditional gate is very impressive – it’s at least 5 stories tall. However, there was a definite dearth of Chinese people around. There were about four blocks of quasi-Chinatown, but apparently someone told these people that everyone has to have Chinese on their [...]
