Thought

Donald, Mom told me about options you are considering. That is very good. Here are a couple of my thought on this. They may be out of cohesiveness.

1) Very good
2) Don’t plan & think too much. Just go ahead do it.
3) Do them simultaneously, not sequentially.
4) The easiest way and best bet are still in your main field. Keep looking intensively and smile a lot. Try to get back to your field with concessions.
5) Looking in your field can be done parallelly with other options.

Just let us know what can we do to help.

Back with a Lot of Mom’s Food Supplies

Well, I was back yesterday. The lady right next to me read her book all night on the plane. I almost punched her but, of course, I did not. Just pretty annoying with those shining light reflected from her book. I managed to sleep anyway and went to work after stuck in the traffic for 45 minutes. After working 7 more hours & my blood pressure was normal. That was a piece of good news. I plan to be around a long time to enjoy Mom’s nagging 🙂 Well, Mom is great, especially, she is very good to me. Sometimes, I am wondering why Mom said “yes, I do”. Kind of lucky 🙂 You too.

Well, while on the way out to Richland, the airlines provided free lunch and it was a big surprise. Surprised indeed, I got a bag of expired chips. I complained to the flight attendant. Not too much response because I guessed everyone got their chips expired. Not just expired recently, but 3 weeks ago. Guess what, I wrote a letter together with the expired chips to their customers services. Stay tune …

Well, now my small refrigerator is full of Mom’s supplies. Great! I found out wrinkled paper is an excellent insulator. Food stays cold after 20 hours.

Germany happenings.

So I’m posting a few photos from Jeremy’s Germany trip. On Friday after the meeting ended, Jeremy went with Asuka and Carrie to the Festung Koningstein, a castle near Dresden. It was really, really cold because the castle is on top of a pretty big hill and totally exposed to the winter wind. They also ate very nice pastries. Jeremy looked at a nice 3rd floor apartment for us. We have to see if they will let Ruby live there. Well, we also have to sign the agreement.

Party, party, party.

We started the day at 8:30 am with a breakfast birthday party at Annette and Frank’s apartment. They were celebrating Frank’s 35th birthday. We had a yummy breakfast of bread, cheese, chicken salad, fruit salad, tea, coffee and cereal. Yum. Jeremy brought back a lot of goodies for the Germans, including bread for Frank’s birthday and licorice candy for Patricia. Jeremy bought 5 bags of this cat-shaped candy for her and they were pretty awful tasting, but she seemed pleased. The kids got chocolate eggs filled with toys. These toys are pretty cool, they are quite complicated and mechanical.

Then we went home and got Emy and headed up to Bard for an afternoon birthday party for Vince, Edda and Bob. We had pizza and the chocolate cake that I made (which was quite fluffy when I pulled it out of the oven last night, but had collapsed to half of it’s height by this morning). Katherine made meringue. We all wore Thomas the Tank Engine hats and ate off Thomas the Tank Engine plates. They were left over from the party on Wed.

Then we headed home, dropped Emy off at the train station.
