Sushi at your fingertips



The California Academy of Sciences had a nice cafeteria where we had lunch Monday. The dining room had the wall-length aquariums that you can see in the picture.


Of course, we all had to joke about having sushi on the menu -- just go over to one of the tanks, reach in and take a bite. Yum! Doesn't get any fresher than that!


Speaking of sushi, I had the best sushi of my life when we went to Yoshi's Jazz Club in San Francisco on Monday night. After the meal, we saw a concert headlined by one of Vanessa's college chums from UM music school: Sachal Vasandani (guy on the left in the picture.) Vanessa says he was an awkward geek when she first met him, but he sure seemed to me to be one cool dude now. Guess it's hard to find a job much cooler than being a jazz singer.

I meant geek in the friendliest of ways. Being described as a geek is a HUGE compliment; to me it means someone who is really into something that's not mainstream.
Anyway, it was clear in college that Sachal's career was going to take off. He's super talented.

Thanks for the clarification. Did not mean to misrepresent your views on Sachal. I agree that he's got a ton of ability.
