Arts, Politics, Friends

Went to the Asian Art Museum and saw exhibitions of works by two great Japanese artists--Taiso Yoshitoshi (大蘇芳年) and Tezuka Osamu (手塚治虫). Men from very different eras but whose works echo each other's.

Had lunch at the museum's Cafe Asia, which has a nice outdoor terrace that gives you a great view of City Hall. Food-wise, I was more impressed with the bowl than my Thai coconut milk chicken noodle soup.

Stopped by the Board of Supervisor meeting. It's "people-watching" taken to a whole new level. Definitely appreciate Alioto-Pier's balanced and civilized stance on the code of conduct for public officials.

J invited me and S over for dinner again. Good conversation and great ice cream she made from home-grown lemons. Both of them enjoyed my slideshow of photos from Thailand and HK.
