Here's one: Did anyone watch the PBS special on Carole King that just aired? It was excellent.

I am also excited that one of my favorite designers will be featured at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in March!

I have found a very broad spectrum of people interested in this series. I recently met up with a first cousin who is a retired very successful heart surgeon. He began his medical career in the army and was actually the surgeon who accompanied Pres. R. Reagan in several of his trips including the important Iceland summit between Reagan and Gorbachev. He mentioned that he had read all of the books twice! Non GOT book readers, they are all near or over 1000 pages!
So, since the next HBO showing is w/o a book published, what do you think will happen?
I've heard that they will backtrack to Ned's point of view. One thing always missing from the HBO series was Ned's internal monologue and memories pertaining to his sister Lyanna. ("Promise me Ned, she said from her bed of blood). Many fans figured out long ago that Jon Snow may not be Ned's son, but actually the son of his sister Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryen. If so, he is the natural ruler along with his cousin Danerys.
My feeling is Jon Snow will come back to life (with the help of Mellisandre). Since he technically died, his vow to the Night's Watch will be no more. Danerys and her dragons will come invade (at some point), but they will flock around Jon Snow like a bunch of kittens since he has dragon's blood from his father.
Every single Frey will die, but some of the Lannisters will survive because they are so clever (Tyrion and maybe Jaime - Cersei is toast).
Poppy seeds add color and crunch to baked goods, but you’ll also gain nutrients, even from the amount sprinkled on top of a roll. They contain some niacin and folate, but poppy seeds are a better source of minerals. Just 1 teaspoon provides measurable amounts of calcium, iron and zinc.
I like lemon poppy seed muffins or pound cake.
I saw it there last weekend!
My question: Did you know there is a Bonnard exhibit going on as well? And one of Monet's Water Lillies as part of the permanent collection?
Did you know that the ugly art featuring junkyard jalopies are supposed to be gone from the SAM?

The Museum of Fine Arts is actually housed in two buildings in two separate locations: the Legion of Honor that we've been talking about and the de Young. The de Young is in Golden Gate Park and is where the Oscar de la Renta show will be. I love the de Young! Make sure to go up to the bookstore/ observation tower for a completely different kind of spectacular 360 degree view of the urban landscape of SF. It is a true "cannot miss" experience. I really like the small Japanese garden next to the de Young, too, but it gets crowded sometimes.
I know you know SF well and don't need advice but just in case you weren't familiar with those two particular sites I thought I'd mention a few tips.
PS: Not familiar with the car sculpture!
