Welcome back. I imagine this departure is feeling realer and realer.

That first photo looks amazing. If I had the money (and the inclination to live somewhere hot and humid), I’d consider grabbing that property myself.

L’embarras du choix, as the French say: the burden of choice. If a man’s home is his castle, may you choose the fortress that works best for you.

SojuHoncho has a point. Better stick to military hospitals…at least until Duterte boots out our troops.

“He actually sat down with me and we spent 30 minutes talking about where I go from here (health wise). Now, Dr. Yoo may be hilarious, but damn, he wasted a lot of my time. This Army Captain treating me did more in one visit than I’ve accomplished in multiple trips to Soonchunhwang.”
Korean. Health care. Sucks.
If I’m ever in dire need of some radical procedure, I’d rather fly back to the States and pay full price than subject myself to this country’s incompetence. Health care may be cheap here, but you get what you pay for.
Anyway, glad to hear you’re doing so much better.

Why, why, why do you drag yourself through the fire like this? You must give the wounds a chance to heal, brother—heal!

“Young Bum” is probably a guy’s name, but I’ll be thinking about the cute Korean cashier I interacted with at High Street Market yesterday. Her young bum was quite delicious (-looking).
COPD, eh? Worse than pneumonia, and those other medical geniuses didn’t catch it. See why I’m paranoid about Korean health care?
Well, at least your demon now has a name, and as we religious-studies folks know, naming a demon gives you power over it. Let the exorcism begin! I’ll be sending you a card on your eighty-fourth birthday, I’m sure.

Get yourself checked out by SOMEbody, man. And happy birthday to Little Bro.

Quite a life, John! At least the girls got to have a day away from their troubles. And it was great of you to pay for someone’s education. I tip my hat to you.

Over 7000 steps an hour is fast walking, indeed. I’ll never reach that speed. Congrats on feeling better!

Feeling any better?

Sorry—”Tabom,” not “Ta Bom.” Either way, it’s da bomb.

You had asked, last night, about the prospects for Marine Le Pen in France’s presidential election, and I’d told you that, so far, François Fillon, the moderate Republican (and prime minister under Sarkozy), was in front. Apparently, that news is out of date (assuming, as always, that polls can be trusted). If Le Pen does win, we could be looking at a Frexit, and that’s going to throw the EU’s economy into chaos because it’ll only be Germany left at the wheel of a rapidly disintegrating ship—left to deal with lazy, warm-weather, no-work-ethic siesta cultures like Greece et al.
If my off-the-cuff diagnosis of pneumonia turns out to the right, you owe me a meat-filled dinner at Ta Bom.

“Korea for me has become a land of broken dreams and broken promises.”
Sorry to hear that, but at the same time, you may end up experiencing that same gravitational pull that has brought so many Korea-weary expats right back to Korea after some time away (months or even years). This country sucks you in.
Or, hey: maybe it just sucks.

Looks moist, tender, and delicious.

…and September will be here before you know it. Wow.
Congrats on restarting the walking. Keep up the good work.

Safe travels with minimal pain. Happy New Year.

Might want to rule out the possibility of sciatica. This all sounds gloriously neurological to me. (Of course, any pain you feel—and that’s all pain—is inevitably neurological!)

Hope the doc finds out what the problem is. Ask to keep your set of x-rays, then take them to a good chiropractor. Meantime, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

May you win.

For your darts career, at least you went out with a bang! Congratulations. And dammit, get well soon!

Looks to have been a great party.

Not sure why this post didn’t appear on my blog’s news feed, but here’s a belated Happy Thanksgiving wish for you. Much to be thankful for, indeed.

The food looks great… but I’m afraid of the fruit salad because it’s probably got shredded coconut hiding in there. Tempted but afear’d.
» Posted By Kevin Kim On 23/November/2016 @ 12:14 am
Sorry to hear it. My sympathies. Rest up, take care of yourself, and get well soon!

Great fall pics.

Good Lord, man! 208! All the hard work is paying off. Congrats and keep on!

«« Back To Stats PageSorry to hear it re: Eun-Oke, but not surprised. Good luck as you move forward—either alone and content or alone and seeking.
If a non-cynical part of you is indeed still looking for a woman with whom to establish a deeper connection, I suspect you’ll have to find her on a high mountaintop or in a library rather than in a bar somewhere.
Meanwhile, there’s this classic.
