Why? Why the hell not?
January 1 found us in New Bern, NC staying aboard the sailboat Second Chance with my friends from high school, Rod and Pat Headlee.
February carried us back in Korea and this is the view from our new apartment. Right on top of the Gireum station subway stop which is definitely a good thing.
March provided the opportunity to make a little fast cash with a second place finish in the Seoul International Dart League mid-season tournament. That’s my British partner Sam “T-Rex” Hayward on the right.
April found us on the west coast at Daechon Beach. We encountered some poor service at a local eatery so I demonstrated for a friend’s young son the appropriate way to express dissatisfaction.
May brought better food and service at Tabom, a Brazilian steak house in Itaewon.
June saw the crowning of the Ride it In dart team from Pub Dolce Vita as the SIDL “B” Division champions. L-R Head cheerleader and keeper of the stats Jee Yeun Lee, Captain Bridget Werner from Texas, a fat guy from South Carolina, Louisianan Jacob Leonard, our token Canadian Cory Clow, and Greg “The Cobra” White of Bawl-Mor, Maryland.
July took us back to the USA and saw Jee Yeun being a traditional Korean grandmother by providing instruction to granddaughter Sydney on womanly responsibilities…
August brought us to Memphis, TN, my dad’s home town. This is where we deposited his earthly cremains into the muddy Mississippi river.
September 23 saw my granddaughter Sydney celebrate her first birthday in the traditional Korean hanbok. She didn’t quite know what the fuss was all about…
October brought us back to Korea once again and we journeyed out to the East Sea to enjoy the views from Naksana, a Buddhist Temple.
November calls for a feast and we had one with my Korean in-laws…
December took us to Osaka, Japan for a couple of days and provided a visa extension for yours truly.
Th-Th-Th That’s All Folks! Happy New Year!
