Life & Love: On my way back home (week 7,45/365,shinsato)

This plane clears the passengers so I can get in the plane and make my way back home after a long hard work week in California. This was taken in SEA-TAC airport, waiting to board for Missoula and home.

Life: Late night grazing (week 7,44/365,shinsato)

Away from home, I revisit an old stomping ground in Palo Alto, almost like a ghost, a grazing hungry ghost late at night.

An interesting package of miso given to me by my sister and brother-in-law to cook while I am resting and recovering from a brutal flu. Project 365(6) has been one of the bright happy things I look forward to these days. It gives me hope for something to see everyday, even though I am terribly sick. Hope is better than despair. Life is better than death. And healthiness is better than sickness. God's light, life, love and hope is better than man's darkness, death, destruction, and despair.

Life & Love: Open Space Agenda (week 7,43/365,shinsato)

We've held an Engineering Summit every year for years, and the big cheese let me facilitate a half day "OpenSpace". This was our agenda wall, built in half an hour at the beginning of the event. People just announce their sessions and put them on the agenda wall, picking a time slot and a place. Two of the slots were in conference rooms, the other two were groups of chairs near the wall in the back of a large open area. It was fun seeing much more participation from the attendees than you normally get in a scheduled powerpoint centric presentation at a conference.

Life: Hotel wakeup call (week 6,42/365,shinsato)

Yikes, another exhausted night photo in the hotel during my week of business in San Jose. This water faucet was the one I used to brush my teeth at night. Thank you God for indoor plumbing and running water.

Life: Hotel wakeup call (week 6,41/365,shinsato)

I took advantage of the hotel coffee maker in my room once in the week, so this machine was only a brief acquaintance - not a best friend. Still, it's rush rush rush, go go go. Part of the business world.

Light & Life: Lonely lampstand (week 6,40/365,shinsato)

The days in San Jose were a flurry of meetings and activities that left me exhausted at night and remembering, wait, I have to take a photo. It's fun traveling for work, and it's also at times lonely, as is this lampstand in my hotel.
