Foodie







Have been hanging out with a bunch of foodies and have been indulging in some wonderful cuisine.   I attended a Yelp event at Trader Vic's restaurant in Portland and did a sampling of appetizers which was really, really good. 

Yelp has been having events for its "Elite Yelpers" as a way of promoting business in the area.  I was lucky enough to have a friend who is an elite yelper and got invited as a guest.

Today was another foodie day, and this time it was experiencing Sichuan cuisine with my fellow workers.  The food was plentiful and flavorful and just amazing!

Autumn










Another beautiful fall day in the city of Portland Oregon.  On days like this, it is so easy to forget that we get over 300, give or take a few days, rainy days a year.  But for now it is absolutely gorgeous.

Celebrations!






 This has been a week of celebrations with friends - birthdays and getting married (bachelorette party). 

As the days get more somber, it is always wonderful to get out and have a few hours of silliness, people watching and a little debauchery with friends.

The Beauty of Fall




Fall is one of the most beautiful time of the year.  My favorite part is seeing  the leaves changing color.  This tree with its vibrant color is just outside my window.  I absolutely love it!

The Passing...



October started off on a very iSad note.  The passing of one of the most creative person in the design world...Steve Jobs.  Although I don't know Mr Jobs personally, but my home is inundated with products that he had a hand in creating - iPhone, iPad, iPod and MacBook. 

We will never have another Steve Jobs, and I hope that Apple with continue his legacy of minimalist, simplicity and elegance in their future designs.

Rest In Peace, Steve Jobs.  You have put your stamp in this world and you will be revered always.
