Hello from San Francisco, where the Blue Angels are doing practice flights for their Fleet Week performances. It's so exciting!

Yesterday we did a tea tasting with Uncle Gee...I finally have a Chinese uncle. Everyone needs one! He really is an amazing man. More about him later. In fact, I intend to do a full article on him soon.

I did publish an article on a cool hike in Yosemite. It can be found at: http://backpacking-trips.suite101.com/article.cfm/yosemites_panorama_trail
