Man of the Year

Actually, the past couple of years; my Brother Jon has proven the most courageous individual I have known in recent memory.  He's happier and healthier, and I feel blessed for his success!

Me and Mom

Our last picture together -- November 2011, she would pass-on early the next Spring; she would have been 81 today December 16th.

What made her great?  View her last on-camera work below on behalf of a public service campaign.

Delivery Man

Salesman extraordinaire Joe Smalzer delivers Xiang her new set of wheels this past Summer, after having waited for this special order for 2 months!  All the bells and whistles work fine in the 3000 miles this carriage has rolled so far...

For Xiang, its "the best or nothing".

Shopping Gangnam Style!

Look who I brushed into next to the checkout lane at Joong Boo Market today!

Had a great lunch in the Snack Shop in back (gracious service from the lovely Su Jin, I might add); picked-up a few carry-out items and a six pack of Hite; all set to hunker-down and ride out the rest of today's late Winter blast which is blitzing Chicago as I post.

An Afternoon at Wrigley

Saw my longtime friend Steve Louden and his family this past August, as they visited the upper Midwest; had never *actually* met either of his Sons to that point; it had been that long.

Steve's Wife Nina snapped this shot of us at the "Friendly Confines"; L-R: Luke, me, Papa Louden and John Paul.

You Don't Have To Be A Star Baby, To Be In My Show

Some of the biggest "luminaries" in my life are friends and family; in that spirit, I'll be devoting more posts to spotlight those who have factored favorably in my life.

Seen here at the "Gate of Heavenly Peace -- Forbidden City", Beijing; China:
Myself with *Chairman* Tracy Learner, looming in the background (with apologies to Chairman Mao and the Communist Party of China).

I'm Wilder Than Her

"She's a Summer storm, I'm a Hurricane; one blows through the town, one blows the town away; I'm wilder than her."
