Tuesday lunch

I went to lunch today with my former co-workers - it was fun - they are all young and full of energy - it feels good to be around them. One is pregnant with her first and I couldn't be happier for her - she will be a great mother. And she is one of the most creative people I know - if she had a blog or website it would be number one on everyone's list.
I walked around Little Tokyo a bit while I was in the neighborhood. It is almost not the same place it was just a year ago - lots of new condos and lofts, stores, etc. Becoming one of the downtown places to live. I really like the little mom and pop stores - I found some wooden puzzles that I used for birthday gifts and they were entirely in Japanese with one line of english describing them as "gymnastics of the head." How good a description is that.
