Lunch today at 
Pho Pasteur. The conversation always brings us to 
The Simpsons. Takeshi hasn't seen the Simpsons go to Japan yet.  We have to tape it for him.  A few of us had broccoli which led us to discuss the brilliance of 
Dana Carvey on Saturday Night Live.  Tim once ate an ugly 
eel he caught and told us that it was delicious.  
Michelin had rubber plants in Vietnam where the rubber was 
extracted from living trees.  You could have learned this from the TV show 
321 Contact.  Tim met a 
guy who owns a MIG-17 Fighter plane. Eric likes the Saab 
Gripen.  Takeshi is now calling me 
Chief and I call him 
Jimmy.  Richard has an ATT Cell phone 
without a monthly charge.
