Shaky Puddin

It is Saturday morning around 5:50a. I am glad to report that I have NOT been up this early in astounding two months (days of travel not included). Regardless I have been a bad blogger this past week with avoiding updates and spending more time away from the computer. On that note I have lots of stories to tell, but not many updates to life.
Today we are going to Busan (southern port city of Korea. . .lots of Russians apparently) for the long weekend. It should generally be about a 5 hour bus ride but since the entire country of Korea has a vehicle it should be more around 7-8. Anyway I plan to be that annoying tourist and have two fully loaded batteries/memory cards to prove it.
Topics to be featured this coming week

• explaining "candidate" and "debate" will send second graders into a tizzy about this guy
• Ellen gets a cell phone and 4 new plants
  
• The Korean Won tanks even further, users of of the USD are no longer allowed to complain
• Caucasian men and Asian women. . .the mystery
  
• My love for Skype. . .and the NYTimes
• many many more
  

Happy Chusak!
