So what was Michelle up to when I went fishing? She slaved over a huge pot of stewed beef for beef noodles of course. Apparently it take hours to get the meat tenderized. Last night we finished the pot. Maybe I ought to go fishing more often.
The Fourth of July this year happens to be on a Tuesday. We both happen to get Monday off to make this a four day weekend. We decided to go back to Vancouver and visit my in-laws. One of the featured attraction in Vancouver is the wonderful food. After the word got around about our [...]
Hearst Castle is one of those places I’ve always heard about and always wanted to go. It is close enough where you THINK you can go visit at any time. It is also halfways between LA and SF. So you think “oh, I can just drop by the next time I go up to SF”. [...]
I read somewhere that you should do different things to keep your mind sharp. Try brushing your teeth with the other hand, learn to speak another language, etc. You know, shock the brain once in a while and take the brain out of the comfort zone. I decided to see this art exhibit in Santa [...]
Spending a whole afternoon out in the sun staring at military hardware is the dream of every girl, isn’t it? Of course not! For this adventure Michelle was left at home. Thanks to years of mashing buttons on videogames, I developed a fast trigger finger which helped in capturing the fighter jets in the air. [...]
Hmmm. Sure have been out doing a lot of things lately. Some things are last minute things like the trip to Shanghai. Other things I’ve planned for months, like seeing Cirque du Soleil’s traveling show Quidam two weeks ago. I bought tickets for that show sometime last year! The show, by the way, is excellent!! [...]
I am sure you knew this was coming. The last post eluded to me going somwhere far. You know me. Usually when I get sent out of town, I end up in these out in the middle of nowhere (鳥不生蛋) places. This time is a little bit different. At least the final destination is right [...]
Nowadays, it takes forever to get through the airport security lines, so you are required to get to the airport hours before the flight. Gone are the days when I dash into the airport 10 minutes before the flight. This is much worse for international flights where they want you to show up 3 hours [...]
Yeah, I’ve been shooting a lot more pictures than my ability to update them. There will be lots of pictures coming up in the next few weeks. My weekends are just jammed packed. Good to be back to my “normal” level of activities. A few weeks ago we found out that the Queen Mary 2 [...]
“What? You have to what? Again?” said I. “Yes, I have to go back to finish things up, just a few hours” said Michelle. With those simple words, my Saturday afternoon opened up. Michelle has to go back to the lab to finish up some work. So what can I do? Not much on TV. [...]
