I am physically incapable of sleeping on an aircraft. This is now confirmed as fact. After a midnight flight out of LAX and 12 hours in the air over the pacific ocean we arrived at Incheon in Seoul Korea. Incheon has to be the cleanest airport I’ve ever seen. I was able to get a […]
“Shrugged” is appropriate
Unlike most Americans, I was alone on July 4th and decided to “celebrate” by catching up on my netflix queue. One of the films I watched was Atlas Shrugged (part 1). I’d already heard the production was sub-par, so that wasn’t surprising. What I was surprised with was how unambiguous but also uninformed the economic talking points […]
Home sweet home
I started blogging about our new home a few days ago, but I didn’t have any photos. On Sunday I went out with my camera and finally shot some photos around the complex. If you want photos of the inside, you’ll have to wait a bit longer as everything is still in flux. Perhaps […]
what to do
I haven’t blogged for more than five weeks. (UPDATE: I found some photos from some events in those weeks and have made some new entries and back-dated them since writing this post) It isn’t because nothing has happened. On the contrary, a whole ton of stuff has happened, but that’s partially why I haven’t had […]
Pasadena Chalk Festival
On June 16th, Sam and I went to Pasadena to meet up with Cindy. We were going to the chalk art festival, but there were other events coinciding with it that day. There is an ongoing series of free concerts in LA this summer, and one of them was going on just two blocks from […]
weekend food
Sam continues to make even simple meals at home into a culinary adventure. First a “simple breakfast” at home on Saturday morning. Afterwards we went downtown. We walked over to the main library, which Sam had never seen. When we got home we had crab legs. On Sunday morning Sam made a variation on chicken […]
Parasailing
On March 31st Sam had booked a para-sailing thing (cruise? tour? event? not sure what it’s called). On that day we went out in the rain and cold and the boat was ordered to turn around due to adverse conditions. We rescheduled for about six weeks in the future, when we thought it would be sunny, warm […]
Zion National Park day 2
On Sunday, April 29th, we headed back into Zion for our final full day in the park. Below is a shot looking back at the quaint little bungalow village we stayed in on our trip. We couldn’t decide which trails to visit as we felt that most that were left were easy. However, after some debate, we […]
Bryce Canyon National Park
On Saturday, April 28th, we hopped in the car and headed northeast to Bryce Canyon National Park. Sam was greeted at the lodge by an Asian woman (Filipino we think) who asked “are you Japanese?!” Apparently the Mormon Asians don’t see a lot of other Asian folk round those parts. Sam and my mom signed up for a mule ride […]
Zion National Park day 1
On Friday morning, April 27th, Sam and I got up a little later than my parents. They were up at their normal Ohio time, but Utah is in the Mountain time zone. They went into the park ahead of us after eating breakfast somewhere. Sam and I ate breakfast at the Sol Cafe at the […]
