My stash grows…

My Hershey’s Nuggets were running low. Thankfully I found some Twix to replace them. But then, yesterday, I found something better. Something I had searched for, but had given up on. Yes, my friends, chocolate chip cookies.

Another Christmas Over

Well I can definitely say that Christmas Day was interesting, if nothing else. It began on a rough note, hit a few highs, and ended with a feeling of indifference.
The Nepali Christmas service was a neat experience, but frustrating at the same time.  There were probably a couple thousand people at the service.  All the [...]

The Wonderful Tradition of Thanksgiving Celebrated on the Other Side of the World

When you think about it, Thanksgiving is a pretty amazing holiday. Its a pretty safe bet that 99.99% or America sits down to Thanksgiving dinner with their family. My family got together. My Mom and Dad, brother and sister and their families, and my Mom’s parents. I was not there of [...]

A Few Thoughts

Haven’t had the internet the past few days, so here are some updates and notes.
