It’s been 7 weeks. 7 weeks of mostly good times. My life is like a pinata, its full of good stuff but there is some crap surrounding it as well. I am constantly winding up with my Louisville Slugger… 5 weeks ago, I went to Japan- Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo. Japan was easily the most Japanese place…

Gettin hairy Gettin weary Gettin bolder Gettin older Gettin fancy Gettin antsy Gettin strange Things have changed.

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana – Groucho Marx It has been 6 months in Korea. I can still remember sitting on the plane moving here, not just the experience, I remember the faces on the plane, the fabric of the seats, the hot, muggy Incheon air when I arrived. I remember…

As December and January came, I found myself in a solid routine. I was reasonably satisfied. Then a funny thing happened… It came in the way of a holiday. Holiday itself was a somewhat huge issue. When I came to the K, I figured my vacations would all be exotic locales like Japan, Cambodia or…
