Current Faves

Carlotta, a client this afternoon seems interested in some of the
things I blabbed about. So as a way of jumpstarting this blog,
here goes.

Anything For Billy by Larry McMurtry. A character in this
short novel, Kate Garza, a mexican bandit, provided the name
for my current car. I read this book in 1993 so is not really current.

Dan in Real Life. I've seen this movie six times this week. Actually
I just finished watching it just now.

Picante. A mexican restaurant in Berkeley that got a very good review
in Check,Please, Bay Area. I actually haven't been to this one, I just
mentioned it to my client because she is from Berkeley.

Ecco. Not inexpensive, it has become our favorite restaurant the past year.
Often it has become the highlight of the week, what with Eva's ongoing
treatment.

La Collina. Has overtaken Buon Gusto in South San Francisco as our
favorite Italian restaurant.

Carrier. A series on PBS where a TV crew joined the crew of the
USS Nimitz on its six month deployment. We get to know some of
enlisted men and join in their lives. Really fascinating. The music
is wonderful. Got to discover new, for me, groups. Five for Fighting,
The 88, Little Barie, Atherton to name a few.

John Adams. HBO's adaptation of the David McCullogh book, which I
love. Stars Paul Giammati and Laura Linney and some wonderful actors
that really looked like the founding fathers.

Some more to come when I remember them.


Mark, who came in 2 hours later was flummoxed when I told him
I bought three computers the past four months. I now have a total
of 7. Each one is wireless.
The three ones are:
Asus eeepc http://tinyurl.com/6qpfhf

Acer Mini Desktop http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=ASL100-UD400A-R

Toshiba U405 http://explore.toshiba.com/laptops/satellite/U400

All I can remember from today.
