发帖数: 2071 | 1 Staycation是个新词，特别是现在的recession，更多的人在家里度假，或最多是day
trips。我原来也幻想到那些exotic
destination，能力所不及，不如探索一下自家附近的一亩三分地，用心的话也会带来
意想不到的快乐。
前两天写了King Tut展览，算是第一集吧。昨天有去走了一下湾区有名的Steep Ravine
to Stinson beach loop。从地图
上看，这个hike可以分成两部分。逆时针的话先走Matt Davis trail 4哩左右，1500
feet的下坡到Stinson beach，回来是
经过Dipsea trail和Steep Ravine trail 3哩，当然是要爬回到1500 feet的起始点。 |

发帖数: 3577 | 4 Our St. Barts spies this time of year noticed a distinct absence of hedge
fund regulars, who we hear spent the holidays with their tails between their
legs instead.
Celebrities such as Roman Abramovich, the Russian financier whose famous New
Year’s Eve bash is the talk of the island, and Candice Swanepoel, as well
as media titans, were all there in force — but a large swath of the hedge
fund community spent time at their snow houses despite the bare slopes.
Evidently, the steep losses on energy ... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5637 | 14 2岁的事儿基本上长大后不会有记忆。你们自己带个小娃玩倒可能更累。要不
staycation呆在孩子的天堂SanDiego玩，就把省下的机票钱把周围的theme park都办个
年票，玩透透？要不然，三岁后你就得给他也买票了。
实在要娃体验飞翔的感觉就带他去北加州看金门大桥。Southwest应该不算贵。 |

Local telecommunications company Qualcomm laid off some 1300 San Diegans
recently in an effort to repair the damage wrought by plummeting sales.
Critics have called the move “unfortunate” from a publicity standpoint,
given the boatloads of cash recently thrown at Democratic presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton by both the company and... 阅读全帖 |

We went there for dim sum today.
The restuarant is doing 10% or 20% off for dim sum.
(I didn't pay so I'm not sure)
Most of the dim sum were good , except for the mango pudding.
It has no taste to it.
I would go again but will not order the pudding.
Park upstairs , there's alot of parking. |

I meant some people love piano would enjoy the craftsmanship of those super
expensive pianos. That's the same for people who love cars.
I heard the Aberdeen center's owner also own most of the shops in the mall,
so the $400,000 piano is good advertisement for the mall. |
