I read a book a few months ago called The Greatest Salesman in the World. The young lad in the story is on a mission to learn from his master, who entrusts him with 10 scrolls that will provide all the wisdom he needs for his future business endeavors. The lad hopes to become the greatest salesman in the world, but there's another incentive which inspires him above all. To win over a girl's…
I'm too excited to share this fun gift with you, so I hope it's ok that it's a wee bit early. To celebrate my favorite person means that my enthusiasm might spill over into the few days prior to the Real Thing. Like you said the other day, this is the first birthday we can share together, in real life, not on the phone thousands of miles apart. Parked with a mountain view, snacking on something…
We're at 7 Eleven. I'm holding a banana, some papaya milk, taking our time at the store. Waiting for our ride, we snagged some snacks while our train tickets printed behind the counter. It's a nice slow morning, just the way I like it. We get in the car, a short ride to the Tainan train station. Easy peezy. And then I realize we're headed to the wrong one. The high-speed rail lines are at a…
If you haven't figured it out by now, your birthday gift to me in 2025, 33 Things, inspired this idea. I thought, why write you a single note when I can just make a blog site and add to it anytime I want? The most fun part about this little project is that you'll always wonder when I'm going to write something new. You'll check it once a week, hoping to see a new post. The anonymous nature of this…
What is it about Colorado casual? That mountain girl style. Trail runners, jeans, a flannel, a tank top and a hat. It just does it for me. I tell you all the time, that I think you look beautiful no matter what you wear. You don't believe me, because you wonder how could any man think band tee and shorts is an attractive look. I guess it helps that you have the perfect female figure, another thing…
What a strangely beautiful experience, and a weird thing that I'm about to say, to look at one person's face and think "This is the best face in the world." But it's true, it's what I believe. Your smiling eyes connect with my brain like no other. A simple happy look from across the room as you pour me a coffee or on a busy street in Hanoi as I nervously find a moment to cross it to join you. I…
People seek meaning and comfort in something greater than themselves. I think this is a part of our human nature. We need guidance, we need meaning, but don't know where to get it from. Self-guidance isn't enough, it can often lead to a different form of worship absent from God. A firm belief in No-God leads people to "worship" in other ways. In endless forms, like the worship of self, other…
