So yesterday Madeline and I had lunch at The House in North Beach with Dorothy and Jeff Santa Ana. Much academic gossip ensues, but the funniest tidbit we uncovered was that Dorothy is actually this guy's second cousin.
And to think he was the butt of my jokes earlier this year when I was teaching my Asian American Studies class at UC Davis! (Daniel did "play the race card" at Tribal Council, and while I have no doubt that Roger just didn't like "Orientals," and that Rob was a little too defensive when Daniel brought it up, but all in all, he was simply a loser, falling off that log every single time.)
And so, after wasabi noodles with pork, and lamb tongue with vinaigrette, and ahi tuna, and caesar salad with scallops, Dorothy and I made our way to Green Apple, and I totally scored: a Richard Scarry book for Izzy, Truong Tran's Dust and Conscience, and a collection of the first three issues of L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E, among others.
