Sushi Aboard
Last minute coordination for early dinner with nephew, when original plans to visit Vancouver Art Gallery were squashed by them changing their schedule to close on Tuesdays. Restaurant reduces human contact when ordering is done on the overhead tablet, and sushi is delivered from behind the wall via the little boat on the conveyor belt. Conversation graduaally eroded as the easterners who woke up at 5:30am ET were dealing with 7:30pm PT jet lag. (Sushi Aboard, Denman Street, Vancouver, BC) 20230620
SFO International Terminal
We brought a plane down from Toronto to San Francisco, so that NPI and CL could fly home. Tightly coordinated visits to the Bay Area so that we don't overload all of our California-resident family at the same time. After deplaning, another connection with one automobile headed south on 101 to Sunnyvale, the other going north to Oakland. (SFO International Terminal, San Francisco, California) 20220422

Queens Cafe (1950s) Gravenhurst
Discovered stack of order blanks for our family's restaurant in the 1950s (or 1960s). Header reads: * We Serve Dinner from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. * All meals include Soup, Bread, Butter, Potatoes and Dessert. * Tea, Coffee or Milk with Meal 10c Extra. Footer reads: * Kindly tell waiter if you desire Meals Well Done, Medium or Rare. * Not Responsible for Lost or Mislaid Articles. Was this from the early 1950s, before Chinese food was served in town? Clearing out historical artifacts. (Queen's Cafe, Muskoka Road S. Gravenhurst, Ontario) 20191019
Tongji U. College of Design and Innovation
Ph.D. students for Quantitative Methods in Design course requested a reprise visit after formal classes ended last week, to discuss with Professor Yi Heng CHENG, who has been travelling. Having experienced the intensive 3-week course, with two full days of group work preparing for presentation, students said they learned a lot, and actually asked Professor Susu Nousala if the session be longer. The formal course is only one step on the journey for graduate studies, ongoing conversations with the faculty can continue for a lifetime.

Sherbourne Commons, south of Queens Quay East, under construction in the spring
Sherbourne Commons, south of Queens Quay East, is still under construction in late April 2009. The ditch doesn't have water flowing, and the sign for No Wading in the pool is superfluous (Toronto, Sunday) 20110424 1700

Bronze of Lester B. Pearson by Niilo Kalerno Kallio, Toronto Pearson Airport, Terminal 1
A gift from Antti Potila, president of Finnair 1989. The irony is that this bronze is in Terminal 1, after the security scan and overlooking the plaza to the Air Canada domestic gates, while Finnair flies to Terminal 3.
