Today we lost Shadow to feline leukemia. But I know exactly where he is right now–with me forever. “Chah-dow-ping-ping-poot. Dow-p’ut-ting boy boy. Verd-verd. Daddy sayang.” (He always liked it when I talked to him like this.)

Yesterday was a good day. It is nice to hear from your friend that things are great. Especially after knowing that they have gone through some struggles. I have never thought of analyzing my happiness, but yesterday it just hit me that the kind of happiness I’m...

I am confident in saying that I’m usually a happy person. However, once in a very long while, I just hit the bottom. Sometimes with more apparent reasons, and sometimes not at all. Yesterday was one of those “how did I get this low” day. Perhaps...

Yet another special birthday. April 20th, my mom’s birthday. She doesn’t like big celebration. I think I got that from her. My brother sent her some orchids. I called to wish her “Happy Birthday.” Bruce asked me to convey the same message. I...

Our girl is one year old today. I stilll remember how small she was when Bruce brought her home from the vet approximately ten months ago. Her head was way bigger for her tiny body. She was curious and very sweet. HYPER!! And at the end of her tail, there’s a...

I took this picture (can you see me?) when I was in St. Louis this weekend visiting the St. Louis Bascilica. I know if I send this picture to her, she’ll make it her desktop picture (Mac term). Or in the Windows land, they call it wallpaper. Regardless, my mom...

Last week my brother invited Bruce and I to join them in a three-day-weekend in St. Louis for a short and relatively inexpensive weekend. I liked the idea, and so did Bruce. But after finding out that the hotel is going to cost about $120 before tax for one night. I...
