313029 28 27 26 2524 23 22 2120 19 18 17 weeks I will delve deep into the sewer archives of past posts to bring you a tidbit of blog history. I had originally planned to call this series “The best of LTG”, but damn, there just wasn’t much “best” to be found. And mediocre is too hard to spell.)
Nine years ago I made my first drive out to the Incheon airport to pick up my step-son. The trip started auspiciously when I discovered the garage door at my apartment building was blocked by an illegally parked car. The journey ended with my car breaking down on the return trip near the Han river. I wrote about that fiasco in a post called “Adventures in driving”.
All these years later I drove my new old car home from work today. It took an hour in heavy traffic, and there were a couple of wrong turns before I finally gave up on the GPS and listened to Jee Yeun. I did manage to affix the GPS to the dashboard using Velcro, for all the good it did me.
Welp, the car is now safely parked in the garage here in Gireum-dong where it will sit until Sunday morning. Then I’m going to head back out Incheon way to take my wife on a visit to a famous Buddhist temple near there. I suppose I am up for a new adventure in driving.
How times change! You were spelling it “hoop dee” back in 2006.
Yeah, I used to be all about the phonics. Now I try (a little) harder to watch my spelling to keep the grammar Nazis at bay….
