Right now we’re at P–’s friend Steve’s place in San Diego. We went to Newport Beach, Pasedena, LA and then down to Mexico – Ensenada and Puerto Nuevo. Awesome seafood. 90 degrees! More details when I get back on Wednesday.

- Men’s NCAA Basketball Final Four: Georgia Tech v. Oklahoma State; Duke v. UConn. The only thing I got right was Duke, and I didn’t even pick Duke to be the final two or final one. Oh, well. Should be an interesting pair of games – wonder if UConn will beat Duke…? (the only “local” [...]

In honor of the upcoming event at the alma mater law school (and, anyway, some American universities, including my undergraduate alma mater, will be celebrating Asian/Pacific American month in April), I will (try to) be a better Asian-American and thus, consider the following observations for this blog entry: – So, Michelle Kwan is a bronze [...]

I love this article in this week’s NYT Magazine about a high school coach. Brought back a lot of fond memories of my teachers in high school. I was moved to post a reply to the thread. And am moved to talk about it here. I think he’s a hero and one of the few [...]

TGIF. Brooklyn doesn’t have the same cachet of exciting diversity and synergy that, say, Flushing has. But, today’s NY Times has an interesting article about the ethnic diversity right on Coney Island Avenue. On Coney Island Avenue, you could have a Jewish nursery school near a mosque – but notably, maybe Brooklyn doesn’t have Queens’ [...]

I’m leaving for San Diego tomorrow morning with P– for the second half of my California travels in search of that American Airlines free ticket ™. YC is driving down from San Jose to rendezvous with my friends in Newport Beach. Later, we’ll drive just over the border. More movement on the “where in the [...]

Today, the weather was decent – it actually felt like spring or something like it. Anyway, beware; long blog ahead, since it’s been awhile and there’s been a crop of interesting news and articles. NY Times Quotation of the Day: “‘I want the truth.’ – Bob McIlvaine, who attended a hearing of the commission investigating [...]

Sorry folks, I don’t know anything about March Madness. I barely have enough interest to track one team from one game to the next; keeping track of 4 teams through 64 games is just not going to happen for me. However, if you do want to know how it works, How Stuff Works has the [...]

Good grief — two of my Final Four picks are gone – Gonzaga and Stanford. Worse – I had picked them to be the final two; and Stanford was my ultimate champion. That’s March Madness for you (and proving that I’m no prognosticator). Perhaps it’s no surprise that Stanford would have fallen so soon – [...]

Well, I get on the plane and then the next day there’s a few substantive blogs to read. Woo, I should needle more often hehe…. I feel… traveled out (I think that can be a feeling or emotion?). About 7 weeks out of the country going from one place to another and now I’m back. [...]
