Blast from the past ....July 2008

It looks like we were in Pasadena at a Huxley conference.  And now I remember it was the Chino Hills earthquake (5.4)  that day which gave us quite a shake in the morning. I was about to tell Jim to stop shaking the bed and then I saw he was up by the window. All our earthquake preparations at home didn't do us much good there.

And now some Pasadena photos

We went to the conference "warming" last night and it was fun to see people we hadn't seen for a while and meet some new people. California Lutheran University is partnering with the Huntington and the Huxley society and they put on a super evening last night with dinner and an old Huxley film called "A Woman's Revenge" based on Huxley's novel "The Giaconda Smile". It featured a very young Jessica Tandy who was looking very beautiful and bore an amazing likeness to Kate Soles.  

California Lutheran is pretty amazing in that they offered free accommodation for people in their residences which made it so much more possible for students and other people on a budget to attend.

Jim gave his paper today. I haven't talked to him yet. I slept in and also wandered around old town Pasadena and generally lazed about.
