…in honor of my granddaughter’s 11th birthday.  You can call it Children’s Day if you want, but for me it will always be Gracyn day!

She loves horses and is a great rider, just like her mother at that age…

Like mother, like daughter…

In other news I purchased a new phone.  A sweet Galaxy 7.

Pain in the ass downloading all the apps I like again, but what the hell…

One thing it didn’t come with was a spare battery.  After checking several stores and getting the same response “you have to go to the Samsung store”, I took it upon myself to go to, well, the Samsung store.  I was told it was near exit #1 of the Sookmyung Women’s University subway station.  In due course I actually found the store, but was told the service department was closed.  Not sure if that is an every Thursday thing or just in celebration of Gracyn day.  I was told they’d be open tomorrow, so I’ll try again.

Seeing as how I was on my lunchtime walk anyway, I meandered on over to Seoul Station.

The original Seoul Station mind you…

And is my wont, I found an unidentified (for me at least) statue to photograph.

You will never be forgotten whoever the hell you are…

Making my way back towards the office where I am employed but not allowed to blog about, I found this vista featuring both old and new Seoul worthy of a photo…Was it?

Today is also Cinco de Mayo. So, here’s a photo I took in honor of that event…

On the 15th of May we’ll be holding the Seoul Sunday Singles League end of season tournament.  The trophies have arrived, here’s hoping the medals get here before the event as well.

Some damage in shipping, but I suppose it’s nothing a little super glue won’t fix…

And yes, I’m just about as handsome as ever.  Thanks for asking.

here’s looking at you kid.
