Gray-stained morning. Husband and I are sitting in the car at 5 till, draining coffee dregs, waiting for Seattle&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/wingluke.org\/home.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Wing Luke Museum of the Asian American Experience<\/a> to open.

So needless to say, this was a glorious triumphant morning for me and my partner. 2 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=329\" target=\"_blank\">Hapas<\/a> with a Hapa son about to experience the art of 19 Hapa artists.
