My sweethearts

These are my pups. I think it’s important in life to have little companions. It’s tough work at first but the value of the joy exceeds everything. In terms of life betterment, I highly recommend getting a dog. When your day’s a drag and you need someone to greet you and love you excessively, here’s [...]

I love DC Bar Folk, well, Sunday Folk

Sundays are shaping up as easy breezy. With the patio out, I’m making a decent living, but it’s not as hectic as beer spewing Fridays and server sweat and tears.. Sundays are quaint, mid-30 folk that can hold their alcohol and search for good conversation. What age am I again? ha..

Last night I met [...]

Proud of the Class Blog

Visit Environment and Development

18th St.

I’ve lived in Adam’s Morgan for the past 2 years… (Well, 1.5, considering Taiwan), and I’ve always been entertained by the calamity of the notorious and chaotic alcohol paradise of 18th St. NW.

Back in Wash and the winter weather is so ishy.

But, good things are going on here. I’m working my mind and keeping up with the times again, stimulating the other side of the brain that doesn’t deal with Mandarin (although I miss it!).

Here’s something funny. The other day I was cruising around in my old [...]

Reverse Shock Primary Stage 1

Missing Pia, Danielle, our little kitchen and Taipei 101 from the balcony, missing scooters, hotpot, shashimi and real dumplings.. missing the Taiwanese hospitality and the Mandarin in my ears… missing night markets, mountains, weekend getaways and the Pacific… and I can’t believe it but I’m even missing luxy. ohhh luxy weekends. love to Taiwan.

Back in the Dank City

I am already back in Washington, D.C…

There are so many small little posts that I wanted to do for my last treks in Taiwan. And naturally, I wanted to do them while I was there, but life goes on and time spins around too fast and here I am. Poof.

I’m still facing denial problems with [...]
