This blog is to help my wife and I, itinerant expatriates, stay in touch with family and close friends. We're living in the Pearl of the Orient.

Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things.” ---Yoda

Entry from Sat Nov 22 2008:
The CheetahhhhhhhBlog Mark I, which was on AOL, seems to have disappeared, and so it seems that those knuckleheads at AOL have lost about 3 years of history. Might be for the best, I might have written a bunch of nonsense. I remember I complained a lot about Korea for example.
My wife laughed at the opening comment of the previous post, where I mentioned “this award-winning blog”. As a matter of fact, the CheetahhhhhhhBlog Mark I was an “AOL Editor’s Choice” or something like that about 5 years ago. So yes indeed Van it’s true, this is an award-winning blog. There is a link on the sidebar “What the critics are saying” and that link is actually there so I can mention the award. I have just been too lazy to write anything yet.
