Photographs and memories

So, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my vacation photos had not in fact been lost when I put the memory card in my new camera…

Southbound from Virginia I received a hearty welcome from NC and a place to answer nature’s call.

I was rollin’ down the highway in this fine example of American steel–a retro Chrysler 300.

Picked my son up from work at the radio network and headed out for dinner in Columbia’s upscale Congaree (river) Vista neighborhood.

The next morning mom and dad and me and Gracie headed out to the ol’ Cracker Barrel for an American-style breakfast.

Ah, give me the days when airlines cared about service…and legroom!

The long trip across the Pacific makes you wish supersonic transport was still available…if not affordable.

That reminds me, I still need to post my photos from Pearl Harbor…

It was really great to see old friends Duke and Dave again and to throw some darts like old times.  Duke’s lovely wife Ji Young seems to have put on a little weight though…

In fact, I do believe she’s even bigger than me these days.  I understand she will be losing the weight in dramatic fashion next week…

Congrats to Duke and Ji Young on the impending birth of their daughter Kyla Kim.

Looking forward to their visit to Korea in August…
