I am carrying the London book by Seattle’s own Rick Steves. I read the book in his voice, as I used to watch his PBS travel show and liked hearing him live in and around Seattle when he would speak to talk about travel and cannabis. Last time I was in London in December 2006 […]

Sunday 1 September I visited the New York Botanical Garden to study and relax. There was an exhibit there called “Wild Medicine” which I wanted to see. I walked as much of the garden as I could because I was eager to see it but then also I had some reading to do, and I […]

On 17 July I toured the United Nations Office at Geneva and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum. They are across the street from each other in a district which also hosts the Musée Ariana, the Botanical Garden of Geneva, and seemingly many international organizations set up by people from all countries. The […]

I visited the Museum of the City of New York, El Museo del Barrio, the Museum of Arts and Design, and the Noguchi Museum this weekend. I also went again to the Metropolitan Museum of Art – this being perhaps my tenth time there and I still have not walked through all the galleries – […]

I cannot believe this place. The Frick Collection has to be one of the best representative collections in the United States of European art from 1500-1850. It is housed in a museum which used to be someone’s house, and it is right next to Central Park in the Upper East Side. I had never seen […]

Richard Knipel ([[user:Pharos]]) took me to the Museum of Modern Art the night of Friday 11th May. On Wednesday 9 May I was at a conference at Consumer Reports for the Choosing Wisely program, and at this conference I met collaborators in the program and came to understand what the program would mean to them. […]

I like Patrick a lot. I am not sure how I first met him. I think that it was at some HIV vaccine event in Capitol Hill in late 2010. Patrick says that we only talked during that night, but I thought I had spent a lot of time talking to him since then and […]

So Nandan and I went to Kolkata to retrieve that 250kg of books I sent there from Seattle back in January. It arrived March 3 but no one contacted us or became aware of its arrival. I had the American shipper track it and he found in it Kolkata. We hired a customs house agent […]

I went out the next day with Nandan and we Sarukh and Abdul and they said they would show us around Kolkata. They pointed out different things and played frisbee in a park on our way to the Victoria Memorial, which was easily the best-presented museum I have yet seen in India due to the […]

Lee and I stayed in the St. Clair Hostel on Richard and Dunsmuir in Vancouver. I am not sure what to call the neighborhood but I can say that it was an ideal location both for staying in the area of our room or traveling to the other places we intended to go. The room […]
