A girl from the Midwest married a boy from the Mekong Delta. I write tales of my husband growing up in Việt Nam of yesteryear and our culturally-blended life.

We have had Christmas carolers twice this season. How wonderful to give your neighbors the gift of song.

@KOrendor I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I’m glad you and your mom have each other. Congratulations on your memoir. That’s exciting! Do you have a link?

My son asked me to write him a poem for Christmas. He thought it’s also a gift to me, to get me writing again. I’m enjoying working on it a little in the mornings and evenings. It’s amazing how much you can get done if you put effort into something regularly.

@KOrendor Thanks, Kim. It’s been a while! How is it going with you?

@TheHemicane I have no idea either. I hope it's the latter.

If you haven't noticed Mars in the sky in the evenings, take a look this month when it's at its brightest. It really is the red planet. https://t.co/NWESNWFpkr

I once taught an 8 am college class. So many grandparents died that semester. I then moved my class to 3 pm. No more deaths. And that, my friends, is how I save lives.

“I’d like to find out where the one-way ticket goes, though. China has Taiwan and Korea has South Korea. Where will we go? To some tiny island somewhere? Wherever it is will be freedom.”

Beautiful scenes from #Vietnam, some of which are discussed in my travelogue, "Rain Falling on Tamarind Trees."
So many places to see, so little time!

Is it working like a dog or working like a water buffalo? You look at the pictures and decide.
