Year of the Panda

It's been a time of celebration for those who love the panda. We've had 2 pandas born state side this year, one in DC and now recently one in San Diego. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/08/22/earlyshow/living/petplanet/main789811.shtml

The other panda in DC is doing well. If you want to get a glimspse and feel a little voyureish check out the panda cam http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/GiantPandas/

Meanwhile the pandas here are multiplying. We just have welcomed some new tarepandas to the house. One is purple panda we call Norton. He's purple from the grape stomping and he is our honorary "wine panda", he came to the house with Kenji who is the sushi chef panda and named for Kenji our favorite sushi chef at Sekisui on Grand.

Mimi, our culinary panda, will be trying to post some photos of her adventures soon. She logs in as flatpanda and occasionally posts recipies. Mimi will post her galleries to this journal. Some of her photos from China and France are up! Click on my journal name and then pictures to see them.
