Love Tokyo. Everyone knows about my affinity for Asia, Japan, and of course all cultures….Also visited Seoul after about 10 years. Somehow I managed to have most my pictures deleted. In the meantime, enjoy what I saw walking the streets of Seoul, Gangnam area.

Au Cheval is a diner of some sort is Chicago. Lovely staff. Delicious food. They even have a reel to reel tape player. I was there a couple of days ago and talked myself into eating a burger with thick pork belly on the top, and then a giant mille feuille. If i die young, you know why.


Another great restaurant close to SORAsound headquarters, i.e. our humble adobe. Real Americana food with a twist. Below picture of Peking duck breast.

This restaurant has turned out to be one of my favorite spots lately. I sit at the front counter and order the tasting menu. The pasty chef, Kym DeLost is also really talented. She makes amazing deserts, beautifully presented and not so sweet. Below, antelope.

Our gorgeous boy is 10 years old today.
Yet as we celebrate SORA’s birthday and count our blessings for having him, we mourn the death of 20 young, innocent angels in Newton, Connecticut yesterday.
May peace and sanity be upon us all.
and my love, SORA — thanks for every day of last 10 years.
