Aeros Dance Project is a dance troupe made up of Romanian Gymnasts (including five world champions).  The show features amazing gymnastic feats choregraphed into modern dance routines layered over a persistent percussive background beat.  The combination had me on the edge of my seat all night.  If the little movie critic dude in SF Chronicle is used to rate this show, he'd be jumping off his chair in excitement! 

Here's a link to a review of the show by Octavio Roca at the San Francisco Chronicle:  Dance Meets Sport In Breathtaking Aeros
Romanian gymnasts take flight in hybrid show.

After the show, we went to our favorite Berkeley pho place. Viet Nam Village is run by a very friendly Chinese couple.  It is in Durant Court with a host of other mostly Asian restaurants.  It was chilly outside so the hot tea was a welcome start.  Randy found out that he needed little windshield wipers to wipe the steam off  his eyeglasses.

Tim came in for takeout when we were waiting for our food.  Tim's in Hankido.  Both Taekwondo and Hankido are under the same program at UC Berkeley (UC Martial Arts).  He's a law student and will be taking the LSAT in February, so he won't be working out till then.  He mentioned that he will have no life until after the LSAT.  Ahhhh, the tribulations of student life!

Tim left soon after my pho arrived. And very shortly afterwards, the pho disappeared into my stomache.  Yumm!!
