Remembering Rufus

I write this with a very heavy heart. After eight years, Rufus is gone. He has been sick for the last two weeks and declining quickly. At first we thought it was the move. Then it became evident that something was very wrong. He had been sitting in his liter [...]


Good Music

Here is a little clip of Jay Kay (Jamiroquai). One of my favorite bands, one of the most successful British acts of all time… largely unknown in the US. What a shame.


More press for Michael!

Holiday decoration

Some people really go all out on their Christmas decoration.  We drove by this house in San Francisco (Noe Valley)… can’t even see the front door!  I wonder where they store everything during the rest of the year….  聖誕節對大部分美國人來說是件大事,來看看這房子的裝飾吧!有沒有很誇張?


Nap time

It’s getting hard to sleep through the night.  If it’s not my full bladder, then it’s too difficult to get comfortable in bed.  I’ve been tossing and turning a lot and then waking up around 3 or 4am, and this morning after getting a little more sleep I finally got up around 6am.  I ate [...]


More pictures from HP shoot

I got some more pictures from that HP Snapfish shoot.  I think the heavy foundation is giving me more lines around the eyes!! :p

I’m a new member of the CHP

I married a monkey

V’s parents came back from their 18-day vacation in Europe, visiting Moscow, Nice, Paris, and Monaco. They had 8 flights in 18 days! Unfortunately a few of them were delayed or cancelled, causing lots of unnecessary stress and precious time lost. However they enjoyed it very much. Rascal is very happy [...]


Golomb Zoo

For the past 3 weeks we’ve been dog-sitting for V’s parents. Rascal, a 16-year-old toy poodle, joined the Golomb Zoo for a short visit… a visit that sometimes feels too long for me. :p I didn’t grow up with pets, so getting used to having Rufus already took awhile, and now having [...]
