Post date / 2016 / December
- Aikido Shugyo Dojo
Adult basic martial arts class of one hour is long when it's one-to-one with senior instructor. Dojo remains true to posted hours during holiday season, even with regular class leaders away. Learned stretching, moving, then wrist locks. Many details to perfect over time. Had tried out dojo last spring, my attendance should more predictable over the next few months. (Aikido Shuygo Dojo, Carlaw Avenue, Leslieville, Toronto, Ontario) 20161229 - Canadian Tire
Long debate on skillets. Eggs don't stick on older black surface, while white ceramic is better for son #3 who uses one pan for everything. Decided to get both 10" black and 12" white. Shelf tag mislabeled, so two trips to cashier. Shopping for 90 minutes was a couples event with spouse, in parallel with oil change, as I have been away for a few weeks. (Canadian Tire, Leslie Street and Lakeshore Boulevard, Toronto, Ontario) 20161212 - Chen's Acupuncture
On treatment bed facing up instead of down, needles in ankles, tops of feet, on forehead. Insertion into spot beside upper shin especially hot, acupuncturist said it's a famous spot. Diagnosis was for excessive heart fire. Vision and mind are now clear. (Chen's Acupuncture, Gerrard Street East, Toronto) 2016122 - Congee Queen
Family lunch with all of our sons out of town. Only two dishes, yet no leftovers from beef brisket chow mein, and braised fish hotpot. Continued conversation at aunt's house, after brief stop to pick up from Chinese bakery. (Congee Queen, Agincourt Mall, Sheppard Avenue East, Scarborough, Ontario) 20161224 - Correspondence different from interaction, Tim Ingold IFIP WG8.2

- Dublin Airport Gate 409
Boarded Airline 747 bus in morning darkness, so at gate before sunrise. Was denied access to Aer Lingus lounge with Star Alliance Gold status, attendant said I will get Air Canada points on codeshare, but no other privileges. Half anticipated, had leisurely breakfast in apartment before packing and leaving keys. (Dublin Airport, Ireland) 20161211 - Gagosian Britannia
Richard Serra (2016) "NJ-2" is a labyrinth that each visitor can walk into. The twists and turns are surprising, as I entered from the west and exited from the east. The walls are weatherproof steel, so removing backpacks to carry by hand is superfluous to damaging the imposing structure. (Gagosian Gallery, Britannia Street, King's Cross, London, England) 20161207 - Glorious Chinese Cuisine
Family lunch, after sons returned from foreign travel, and before farther departs. Catching up on friends and families from afar. Lunch special of barbeque duck with dimsum, plus a noodle dish more than sated appetites. (Glorious Chinese Cuisine, Denison Street, Markham, Ontario) 20161231 - Glorious Chinese Cuisine
Fish in tank by entry of restaurant shouldn't expect a long future, with hundreds of lunch patrons inside. Saturday on a holiday weekend led us to choose a less popular venue, wait time was 10 minutes for a table for 7. (Glorious Chinese Cuisine, Denison Street, Markham, Ontario) 20161231 - Hoang Anh
Slight diversion into Quad Cities for Asian supermarket revealed well stocked inventory for Viet, Chinese and Thai cuisine. Staff filling orders suggests wholesale fulfillment to local restaurants could be the larger part of the business. Location is well off the beaten path on a small main street in East Moline, a long way from freeways. (Hoang Ahn Foods, 15th Avenue, East Moline, Illinois) 20161214 - Hugh Wilmott, IFIP WG8.2
Commentary on first keynote of IFIP WG8.2 Working Conference by Karin Knorr-Cetina, Dublin 2016 - Indiana Welcome Center
Rest stop exiting the state found Christmas tree decorating contest judging. School buses parked outside, hundreds of teenagers milling about. Also an ugly lamp contest. (Indiana Welcome Center, South Shore, Indiana) 20161214 - Irish Museum of Modern Art
Eva Rothschild (2004) "Stalker" @IMMAIreland is made of wood and plexiglass. This museum is housed in prior Royal Hospital Kilmainham founded 1684, impressive courtyard. Location west of central Dublin have opportunity to ride Red Line tram. and see more residential areas. (Irish Museum of Modern Art, Kilmainham, Dublin, Ireland) 20161208 - Juttutupa
Meetup with some 2nd year students from the Systems Thinking 2 February class, and a few more from the 1st year of the master's program in Creative Sustainability. Glad to hear that knowledge they gained was useful in subsequent studies, as they then explain concepts to other group team members who didn't take this session of the intensive course. This restaurant a quieter place to talk, until an excellent band started playing after 8 p.m.. (Juttutupa, Säästöpankinranta, Helsinki, Finland) 20161201
