Planespotting 05/13/13

Went planespotting at LAX yesterday. Highlights included a Cathay Pacific Boeing 777, British Airways Boeing 747 (featuring the "One World" livery), a Singapore Airlines Airbus Industries A380, and an Air France Airbus Industries A380. Here's some photos and videos....

Birding

Canada Goose

I went out birdwatching at El Dorado Nature Center today. We had a very good day, counted 40 species in all. Here's one of them.

Reading Club

Starting Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation today....

Reading Club

Started a Reading Club with my son in February. Every day we read for 30-60 minutes (I set the time). He picks 2 books, then I pick one.... I thought I'd at least point out which books we've finished so far. I'll try to keep a log on here every time we finish a book and start a new one.

Here are the ones we've already read, along with my ratings:

Feb: Prey Michael Crichton (Jeremy's pick) A

Feb-Mar: Terminal Man Michale Crichton (Jeremy's pick) A-

Mar-Apr: The Omnivore's Dilemma Young Reader's Edition Michael Pollan (my pick) A

Apr-May: Jurassic Park Michael Crichton (Jeremy's pick) A

I'm enjoying this thoroughly; I'd like to keep an ongoing tally and see how far we can get. :)
