Knock Knock

Well if I’m stuck in the US at the moment, I might as well spend the time in one of my favorite cities in the world - Chicago!

The Weekend

To escape some of the negative chi I have managed to sow around me, I am heading out to Red River Gorge to grab a cabin and hike/party with 6 friends. Getting into the woods should be a temporary cure for the blues anyway.

Since I’ll be gone until the day before, if you haven’t sent in a photo for my “crazy moment photo contest” yet, do it! The deadline is on Monday (March 31st).

Some of the entries out there now are good, but I hate to say it, many leave much to be desired…..I wouldn’t exactly call a picture of a sunset a “crazy moment” but maybe it is for a vampire, who knows. I have to choose 5 winners so you still have a very good chance to win.

Have a good weekend. Dzai Jian. Poka. Lagawn. Chok Dee Na. Arrivederci. Adios. Au Revoir. Auf Wiedersehen.

Today would have been my first day in Malaysia, had I made my flight yesterday. For very personal reasons, I had to let my $700 ticket go to waste, and so my seat on United flight 895 from Chicago to Singapore remained empty. I guess whoever had the window seat beside of mine was pretty happy.
