Steve Fossett, where are you going?
When talking with Tyler this morning about Steve Fossett’s solo flight around the world, my five year old son asked, "Why did he do that? All the way around the world to end up at the same place? He should have visited someplace and met some people." Good point.

Thai Brunch in Berkeley
