Thesis: Day 4


Hello Dear Readers! 
Well, best laid plans.. I was hoping to blog daily on the thesis front but I’ve botched that.  It’s all good, I’m hopeful once I’m in the thesis groove I’ll be blogging more.
The last few days I’ve been slightly waylaid.  Yesterday was my Dad’s birthday- Gratulerer med dagen Dad!  And, the day before I had an opportunity to go to the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park (one of my favorite places in SD!) with a friend.  The MOPA has a super exhibit right now- ‘Infinite Balance: Artists and the Environment.’ Seeing is believing, and I highly recommend checking out the exhibit for some good visuals of what man is doing to our natural environment.
On to some reading.  Tomorrow I'm meeting with a contact to learn about the performance properties of algal biodiesel.  I'll let you know what I find out.
Cheers!

Dane Days: Ninja Reflexes

I am loving time with my nephew this summer! This is Dane at about 6 and a half months. And check out his ninja reflexes, there is no hope for my braid!



This is a song I wrote for Dane before he joined us in December 2010- enjoy!  Click here to hear 

Also, I feel inclined to give you a 'must do' for the summer:  
Step 1: pack a picnic
Step 2: picnic in Balboa Park (might I suggest by the organ pavilion for some live music or by the big pond for some promenade viewing)
Step 3: attend a Shakespeare play on the outdoor 'festival' stage at the Old Globe Theatre
Step 3.5: get something naughty like a Haagen Dazs ice cream bar at intermission
Step 4: enjoy the quiet of the evening as your stroll back to you car meandering through the plantings at the Alcazar Garden and over the Indiana Jones style plank bridge



I bear a charmed life~ William Shakespeare

Why yes dear Bard, I believe I do.

Charmed,
