No Trophies

I haven't the energy today to write a long, tell-all post. Forgive me.

For those who have not heard we never made it to the National Tournament last weekend. En route to Seoul our bus driver decided to take a nap, so did not see the cabbage truck he was about to ram. BAM! Cabbage everywhere.

No one was seriously injured, not even Alex. Busted teeth and contusions were the worst injuries. That's the long and short of it. I hope Mom and Dad M. do not read this while on their cruise. If they do . . .
  • We're fine. Go back to the lounge chair and drink a margarita for us.


Love you all. Peace.

Wow! You guys seem to have a knack for aquiring stories you'll enjoy telling for years to come! Thank God everyone was okay. Do you have any special plans for Thanksgiving? I imagine it's just another work day in Korea. Things are going well here. I'm spending the holiday with Nick and Jaina. I don't know if you've kept up on American news, but every Republican and his mother are being indicted, investigated, and/or slammed in the media--good times. I've become a complete news junkie. I recently saw two book presentations: one was Al Franken's "The Truth (With Jokes)" and the other was "Republican Like Me" (I forget the author's name) about a guy that infiltrated myriad conservative groups and campaigns to see what really goes on. Portland is good for stuff like that. Anyway, we're trying to shape this country up before your return. We might need a couple years to do it, though. Take care.

Alex and Audrey:

Who had the busted teeth and contusions?? Hope you are ok. The Korean Nationals probably arranged the accident to avoid giving up the Gold to two Americans!!

Back to our Margaritas!!

One Year On

So one year has come and gone and here we are still in Korea. This past year has been tumultuous, to say the least. Underwater trees, busted eardrums, vomiting in the park from food sickness or too much sun, or let’s just say it: alcohol. And that was only one trip. I suppose this retrospective should be something along the lines of “Things I’ve Learned” or maybe “What to Do and What not to Do in Korea” or some equally inane clichéd thing, no offense to those who enjoy those kinds of lists, I’m just not that way, generally, I hope. So then what is this going to be? Really short. When I came to Korea I expected the language to come rather easy, I suppose if I had studied as hard the first five months as I did from August, I would have a much better handle on it. I know enough to get around, but there is a lot more, as if that isn’t obvious. My time at the place where I was employed was as turbulent as this year, and in some way could have been the cause of all the chaos. But th

Usually so rebellious usually so reckless with laughter Now so quiet in a declaration as cautious in a place understated is an understatement minimalist . . . a word is not on the agenda today.
