Every now and then, I volunteer at a weekend reading program where we read along with 1st grade kids from the school. So nice to be able to actually work with the kids instead of being behind the scenes coordinating. Thank you, Buddy, for introducing me to the program. 🙂

What a breathtaking view! Totally worth the early morning wake-up and freezing cold temperatures. I can’t believe New Years in Tahoe was almost a year ago. Where has the time gone?

[286/365] Fortune, Thai Boom Restaurant, Los Angeles, California, USA

I usually don’t eat fortune cookies, and if I don’t eat it, I don’t feel right claiming it as my fortune. This time though, I ate a few bites of it and read my fortune. This was a few weeks ago – what pleasant surprise is in store for me?

We recently celebrated Connie’s birthday with some wine I gave to her 3 or 4 years ago! Moscato d’asti dessert wine. It’s about TIME.

[284/365] Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California, USA

A Bay Area icon. Ever wondered why the bridge is painted “International Orange” (that’s the official color name) and not gold? It is actually referring to the Golden Gate Strait – entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.
