安全到达San Diego

众位姐姐，
带着众位姐姐的美好祝福，我们已经安全到达目的地。谢谢大家为我们饯行，非常感激。 很荣幸和大家相处了2年多，祝大家越跳越年轻，越跳越美丽。
下面是文安说过的那位全美国人民都知道的正在和pancreatic cancer作顽强斗争的Carnegie Mellon University 教授的“the last lecture" 链接。

强烈推荐两个video,一个是The "Last Lecture", given at Carnegie Mellon University (76 minutes)，另一个是Diane Sawyer of ABC (and her incredible producer, Geoff Martz) did an hour special, which was way too flattering.
Enjoy!

游佛罗伦萨, 2001初夏

这是当年记下参观佛罗伦萨“学院美术馆“ (The Academia)一篇日记。《大卫》原件就在这里。

A Great Reading Season!

Thanks Xiaoying for "pushing" us to dig further into the Vermeer story and fantasy. I watched the movie first, but thought the book was quite more chewy, thanks to all the symbolism you help us discover. Discovering a painter is like discovering a world to me. I feel a lot richer now that we know something about Vermeer.

Last night's book discussion served as a great wrap up to the first reading season. Thanks for all your stories about art and artists. The deeper we dig, the purer the water gets!
