Eliot Cheap Zen
Those were the search terms someone plugged into Yahoo to arrive at this blog. Hmmmm.
Got my train tickets for Vancouver! Whoo Hoo! I'm taking the 7:45 train up Wednesday morning, and plan to visit the museum close to the Fairmont; they're supposed to have a really wonderful Emily Carr exhibit. I'd like to get out to the Museum of Anthropology on the UBC campus, too, but not sure how the transport will work. I adore taking the train, but it does leave one somewhat dependent on public transport (an unknown quantity), cabs ($ouch), or the kindness of semi-strangers with cars. We'll see.
Cool new plant: Saruma henryi, a fairly recent woodland introduction from China with heart-shaped fuzzy leaves and small yellow tripartite flowers. It's related to the wild gingers (asarum), as one can tell from the name (saruma), an anagram (hey, Peter, I thought of you) of asarum.
This is a cool list for word junkies or plant junkies or (especially) both.
From CNN: a memory specialist states that more information is contained in a single Sunday issue of the New York Times than the average 17th century person was exposed to over their entire lifespan. I'm not sure I needed to know that.
I also could have lived without the commericial for Fidelity Investments -- the music was Der Kommissar. Is nothing sacred?

I envy your train ride. i've always wanted to take a train somewhere. I've never been on one before. Have a great time! And the anthropology museum--envy you that too.
Thanks so much! The train was one of the high points, actually, and I'm now hooked for life on train travel. Didn't make it over to the anthro. museum, but the Emily Carr exhibit was superb.
