Bill Woody flew in for the weekend and we always have to shoot when he's here.
Yesterday we were up early and found the road in Miami which winds you out of town and up into the hills overlooking the mine.It was the same road they ran the day before for the Copper Crawl which is both a 5K and 13K run..mostly uphill!

Jung Chang: Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China
As one reviewer says " Of all the personal histories to have emerged out of China's twentieth-century nightmare, Wild Swans is the most deeply thoughtful... Takes the lives of three women, beginning with her grandmother who was a concubine, and her mother who grew up during Mao's cultural revolution to her life with a foot in China and a foot in the US. (****)Lisa See: Shanghai Girls: A Novel
For a person who has been researching chinese history in Globe, this book offers such a human insight into what it was really like to grow up Chinese - first in Shanghai before it was overrun by the Japanese - and then in LA Chinatown. I loved the book. It is a good read. And educational - if you into that. (****)Sara Davidson: Leap!: What Will We Do with the Rest of Our Lives?

(****)Winifred Gallagher: House Thinking: A Room-by-Room Look at How We Live
Living well in our homes is a matter of thinking more about how we like to live...what makes us happy - than about how it LOOKS. This leads to all sorts of paradigm shifts when designing a living space... (***)Susan M. Love: Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book:4th Edition 2005
