We’ve all been told to make the most of each day. Many think that this means we have to do something special each and every day. That is not sustainable. Some really “enthusiastic-about-life” people burn out quickly trying to make each day an adrenalin rush. Most successful and well-adjusted people understand how to progress each day toward one’s overall life goals [...]

A Dining Expereience at Cristal Room Baccarat
Posted in travel, Uncategorized, tagged Cristal Room Baccarat, Fine dining, Paris, tourism on October 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

No pictures of the crystal and wonderful chandeliers, which were themselves extraordinary. You’ll have to visit to experience that yourselves. Hope your eyes enjoy the [...]

It’s time to pack again. At least I can take a small suitcase since I’m headed to tropical weather in Saigon. Today is my younger son’s 21st birthday, but we celebrated last night with the extended family by grilling filet mignons and lobsters. He’s got big plans to spend a few nights at the Tulalip Casino [...]
Unlikely of Friends in the Unlikeliest of Situations
Posted in People, travel, Uncategorized, tagged friendship, travel on May 4, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Twenty-six years ago (1985), I showed up in Seoul as a naive Korean-American student looking to find my roots.
