Legal Secretaries' Survival Kit
This will come in handy even after I'm feeling better. . .okay, maybe I can't watch the movie while I work, but I can certainly keep an emergency supply of those "Peanut Butter Dreams."
Thanks, Michelle! You rock.

"Letters from Noto" Reviewed in this week's East Bay Express
CRITIC'S CHOICE
Letters from Noto: Living in Japan 1955 to 1964
Reviewed By DeWitt Cheng
"Some scorn the belief that people everywhere are pretty similar, but the Japanese, considered suicidal fanatics in 1945, look perfectly human in these postwar photos by David L. Beckman, a Presbyterian missionary who lived in the village of Ushitsu on the NotoPeninsula from 1955 to 1964. His award-winning photographs, predominantly black-and-white, depict rural life before industrialization, and they imbue their reportage with a calm dignity. "Sailors," "Man and Ox," "Farmhouse in the Fall," "Baseball -- Anticipation" (our national pastime hath charms to democratize the savage breast, it seems), and "Farmhouse and Melting Show" are certainly authoritative, satisfying works, but more impressive are Beckman's dangerously charming "Girls under Umbrella," "Mom and Baby," "Straw Hat," and "Dog at the Breadshop," schmaltz in lesser hands, that might, surprisingly, win over some not-so-hard-boiled visual-culture connoisseurs."
Letters from Noto runs through January 22 at Alta Galleria (2980 College Ave., #4, Berkeley).AltaGalleria.com or 510-414-4485.

Espresso Yourself
My nephew and his wife gave me this wonderful new toy for Christmas. It's called a Bialetti and makes perfect espresso, capuccino, and other caffeinated delights.
I'm sure that by Valentine's Day I will have mastered the technique to making the perfect cup of original Italian espresso.
Thanks, guys!
