Bahar's latest pictures
I met Bahar back at UVA when he was living in the Theta Tau house. These days he's living in Malaysia as a photographer for Agence France-Presse. His website is back up and running and he has some new photos up relating to his coverage in Malaysia of the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami. Thanks to Surreal for the link.

Giada De Laurentiis and Sushi-Ko
So, only a couple of days after my entries about Giada De Laurentiis and Sushi-Ko appear in my blog, two articles show up in the Washington Post about this week about the same. The Wednesday Food section has The Food Network's Latest 'It' Girl and A Few 'Everyday' Recipes from Giada De Laurentiis. In today's Weekend section, Tom Sietsema offers his opinion on Sushi-Ko in A Word for the Wise.

Congratulations
Congratulations are in order for newlyweds Marilynn and Onur, Christine and Tuan who've moved to Dallas, Jami and Jon who are expecting their first child, and Jessica for finding a full-time position.

Thanks
I'd like to take a moment to say thanks to all my readers. Whether you've stumbled in from another site or if you're my good friend, thank you for your readership. I'm always surprised to hear someone tell me that they read my blog regularly and enjoy (most of) the eclectic topics I write about. I'll keep working to keep my content fresh and of course I always welcome your feedback.
