2022 was a rather notable year. Travels For me, the thawing of 2+ years of pandemic restrictions was by far the most defining characteristic of 2022. To make up for lost time, we were not shy about packing our schedules with trips: the family spent a week in Las Vegas, two weeks in Andalucia, Spain,

Characters at the Gym
For the past six months, I’ve been going to the local 24-Hour Fitness several times per week. Other gym regulars who workout around 8am on weekdays quickly became the people that I see most often. Here are some of the most memorable characters Powerhouse Retirees You can count on this advanced-aged duo to show up
LA
Shortly after the wedding, we flew out to LAX in preparation of a big family event. Although it wasn’t quite a “honeymoon”, it was a very nice vacation. California is the state of sunshine in my heart (screw Florida), and it felt great to be hangout out in the dry climate with the warm but
New Life
A lot of stuff changed within a three-month window: new car, new license (state), new apartment, new marriage, and new job.

New Year’s Eve From Above (Part 2)
Happy New Year. Logically, however, I don’t see what’s there to be so happy about it. New Year happens on roughly 0.3% of the days, which is a lot more common than your birthday if you were born on February 29th. A new year means a rent increase, a new set of work goals to
New Year’s Eve From Above (Part 1)
The Times Square ball drop is one of the biggest events in the world on New Year’s Eve, and the ball that drops is practically right outside my office window on a year-round basis. This New Year’s Eve, over the option of staying home to play video games with myself, I chose to commute into the city
Q4 2009 Recap
Haven’t updated my blog in a while so here’s a half-assed quick round-up of interesting things that happened. Gotta do this before 2010 hits! On Nov 14, Hong took me ice skating for the very first time. It was supposedly disappointing that I didn’t fall on my ass. On Nov 21, I participated in my first
