This Thanksgiving lived up to its namesake - we feasted with friends from our 512 Children's List while welcoming Luwen and her mom who hail from Luoshui, Sichuan.

Luwen tasted her first turkey and learned how to kick Noah's butt in Wii. Our party continued the next day at Tea Dragon. Very grateful for having all you folks in our lives.

Top choice

IF we could afford it, this is where we would live - now, don't you think that's a view? We took a deep breath, wiped the drool off our chins and came back down to earth... some day...

That Santa Ana Whip

Maybe the Golden State should change its moniker to Santa Ana Winds Go Away State... goodness gracious! We love California and would even live there if it weren't for the brush fires, lack of water (esp. during a fire storm), flash floods, earthquake. oh yeah, and that thing they just passed called Prop. 8.

The View

Are we being opportunists or dreamers in thinking that Shyrush can move here? Probably a bit of both. In any case, this would be our view from an expensive, but hopefully appreciating box in the sky. Come, take a deep breath...

December schedule

We have a full-schedule ahead starting with Out on a Limb, Daria's documentary on how high-tech prosthesis is transforming the lives of amputees.

Ongoing webmastering for two southern Calif. companies (yes, otherwise known as family biz): Mirage Entertainment and Kao's Pacific Interior & Design.

All this in addition to the editing of "Dreaming of Tea" (working title), our second tea film at Tea Dragon Films about the exquisite organic tea, Dong Fang Meir Ren (Oriental Beauty).
