A new book meme circulating around the sphere is going by the name “123.5,” and its rules are these:

1. Grab the nearest book.

2. Open the book to page 123. Find the fifth sentence.

4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

5. Don’t search around and look for the “coolest” book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.

“Men were driven by it, in his opinion.”

Vince and Jeremy use our meat grinder to grind turkey thighs for tonight’s tamale pie dinner.

This is Vince’s 4th day without a nap. I think the napping era may be over. I am a grouch because of this. I want, I need the nap. Oh well, at least he goes to bed at 8 pm not instead of 10:30 which I guess is an improvement. Also the move to Germany and Singapore is up in the air again, I don’t know the timing or anything again. Perhaps that is also why I’m in a sour mood.

heh, sweet. I forgot I just got a new scanner! whee! There’s the x-ray of my shoulder on 3/2. I’m going into the doctor’s again next Wednesday morning. We’ll see what they say, tho I’m a little worried. The bone is still flexing a bit. I’m going to keep on wearing hte slipg when i sleep. I think that’s when my bone is out of shape the most.

My Broken Collarbone 

So the fire truck stopped by this morning. Apparently someone had called about some steam coming off the roof of the house. Nothing seems to be on fire tho. One of my roommates locks his room, so I couldn’t check it out at all. The steam seemed to be coming out of a vent from the next door neighbor’s house. The fire dude said it was probably the shower or the dryer going. Oh well. pretty exciting!

I am with Mom. Came in last night. Stopped at Cinninati and got some famous Cinninati chilli on a burger. Claimed to be the best chilli around the country. I guessed it was good but not as advertized.

Too bad we are here without Donald though. But, always have “next time”. More tax time before 3 weeks trip. Will go to Washougal to get the river view window done.

Mom decides to build a house on her aunt’s 30’x36′ plot in ChungMing. Her aunt gracefully gives her the plot hoping that a more modern house will be built. We offered to buy the plot, but she said “no”. Other two adjacents plots are for their two kids. Mom will let her aunt and uncle stay in the house as long as they like. It is fair.

Head hunters asked me to explore a prospect in Denver. See what will happen? It is permanent. Not bad there either. Just touring the country while working. Maybe we can get a townhouse or an apartment there also. Who knows?

Just before this photo was taken, Edda was happily chomping on Ruby’s ear. I think Edda is finally back to her old self, the trip to Boston threw her for a loop. I remember when Vince was about Edda’s age and we went on a trip to the southern part of Taiwan, he was so fussy the whole time and when we finally got back home to his apartment and his friends, he was so happy.

Edda enjoying Ruby’s company and my toes are also in this lovely picture.
