seattle...again...

7/20/06 - okay...let's see how far i get this time....after having thai iced teas with tom and dropping him off home, i headed up to capitol hill...where the pride parade had just started...so i actually got to see my favorite part of the parade...the dykes on bikes....some day i'll have a harley too :) after watching the gals drive by i was off to linda's tavern to meet my friend cara and was introduced to her finacee scott...very cool people...we had some dinner and a few drinks...and it was a blast...below is a shot of us at linda's on the hill...
cara and scott are getting married next summer, so you never know, i might get back to the west coast next summer...after hanging with cara and scott, i headed out for pride with my old roommate david...it was a fun time had by all, with a late night stop at my favorite chinese restaurant, possibly in the world, ho-ho's...yummy....the next morning i was up early to meet a past student of mine, lisa for coffee in freemont....i have to say that freemont is not looking like it used to, its a bit upper class for me now...but it sure was fun hanging with lisa for a few hours and walking thru the freemont sunday market....can you believe i have known lisa since she was in seventh grade??? and now she is a sophomore in college...phew...i am getting old :)

from coffee with lisa...to an indian meal made for me and a few friends by my good friend shelly and her family....her mom chumpa is a great woman...and man can she cook...and then shelly and her daughter ratika are no slouches either...if i could take them with me everywhere i went or had the ability to cook like them, i would be set...i also got to hang with rajan, one of the funniest men alive on the planet, but not in his kid's eyes...and of course, a wonderful past student, akshay....it was sooooooooooo great to see this family of amazing folks and have a meal with them...as well as a past teaching friend, larry...who you will see later in the update...but, below is the shot of the whole family...they rock my world!!!

okay...nothing is updating in the way of pictures again...so onto the next update....sorry these are so short...and i wish i could just knock them all out at once...oh well...see you in the next update...
