I don’t get sick. The last time I was sick was .. ? Couldn’t remember; and I almost forgot what it feels like.
It started Friday, the headache came visiting. At first, I didn’t know what it was, just feeling little uncomfortable, my head was mushrooming. Not myself. Then by 6 [...]

You’re what you eat read.
Joe the editor had met his tormentors: the kids who demanded meat at a vegan dinner had grew up. We enjoyed a leisure lunch out on the street by his office on Wawona Street by Great Highway, a stone threw away from the North Pacific Ocean.

Shanghai is SF’s sister city and the host to 2010 World Expo. So this Shanghai exhibition is a celebration. It runs from February 12 to September 5.

By Tatiana de Rosnay was my book club’s last read.
A great story idea but lousy writing (translating?) – something lost in translation? It reminded me of The Lover (1984 novel) by Marguerite Duras, in the same way that I was charmed by the topic/story/history and dived in even the writing wasn’t an easy read.
In this [...]

I don’t feel that I get nerves before a match, and I play it as normal as I normally play. Hmmmm … The other day Feb 11, returning to the Westside tennis club I was bit jumpy. As soon as I sat down, I suddenly felt my knees were going.
Oh sugar, I forgot [...]

Dear Mr. President,
Until you’ve done a great job – earned our standing ovation, please keep your husbanding and fathering to the minimum because we elected you to manage this country, not being the leading man of a third rate Hollywood movie or baby sitting. You got the job only because Bush had shoot his [...]

Team USA beating Canada 5:3 in ice hockey. YAAAAAAA! It’s preliminary run in Olympics, but still. At tonight’s match, one of my teammates wore a bloody red shirt with Canada printed across the chest. It’s front and center. Cheering for the little bro instead?
Go USA
Go China
In that order. The rest [...]

I just got a call from Reba Management this morning, informing me we owed them, Coral Reef and asking if we would like to settle it:
“How much can you afford to pay?” Melissa asked.
Wait a second, didn’t we sell it back?
“No, the buy back didn’t go through.”
During our terse conversation, Melissa mentioned that we used [...]

We had a leisure Mediterranean wraps out door. I’m no fan of crowds and much prefer the off season travel. It’s just so much more pleasant and relaxed.

We had lunch at SF Fishermans Wharf over looking the Golden Gate Bridge. I’m no fan of the bridge. The only time I was impressed was when I kayaked from Jack London Square in Oakland one early morning years ago. My flight was out at 1pm that [...]

Or in praise of Geico.
Packages for learning to drive where I went for the defense driving that cost $55.
I’ve been GEICO’s customer ever since and always wanted to say something nice about it. It is a well ran company. From filing a claim to apply a defense driving certificate. Every [...]
