July 24th, 2007 · No Comments

Anyone who goes over to Asia has to try riding a scooter at least once. It’s scary, fun and exhilarating. You usually dish out a couple bucks to a small shop and hand over a copy of your passport. From there you’re on your own. Here are a couple tips I learned.

July 23rd, 2007 · 3 Comments

Yes, I said it. Wedding. Most of my friends and some of my colleagues treat the word wedding as was a four letter word, but I bit the bullet and now a wedding is in my very immediate future. With this in the forefront of my mind I thought it would be a good idea [...]

July 10th, 2007 · No Comments

But, if you want a real [...]
