WOO HOO!!!

Is there a cattle call this Friday?

Damn, I was posting on the previous blog topic not knowing this was here…

Where did the homey clan go?

alright more tickets, morning jojo, tommui and the rest of the tsaikos.

You mean they didn’t know the material they used in the construction contained asbestos?

Cattle Call? It’s almost lunchtime…

tommui – when was the last time I saw you? Last year? Oh boy…

Yee Haw a new post!

Bummer! Asbestos in the ceiling!

A friend of mine decided to save money and remove the asbestos in her townhome ceiling on her own. She and her fiancé had to buy special hazmat gear and pay extra for proper disposal. What a pain it was, but she saved money…

jojo – tommui still looks the same.

Ronnie – Your friends were protected but now the tenants in the adjoining townhome have mesothelioma.

Is there a cattle call this Friday?

You make the call homey! I’m in if it involves burning meat on a gas grill 🙂

Mei Ling — probably no Cattle Call today. A proper cattle call requires 1.5 hours advance notice… 😆

curveball – I have your fruit bowl and will be bringing it to the tailgate this Saturday.

Kymry – I have your salad tongs and will bring them also.

homey – Are you bringing some weird animal parts on Saturday?

Hi Ronnie…did you talk to Rich yet?

Hi Kekoa!

I want to take a ride on the Super Ferry but will wait until summer when the waters are calmer. I heard the channel can be rough!

Hi Rob!

I did. IM me when you have the chance.

g-nalo:

Stretch already booked and paid for his airline tickets to Seattle and Vegas.

We are close behind and may get it all done next week.

U staying at the Flamingo Hilton next Sept? Never tried their craps table, but it would be a good time!!

Can all the Tsaikos hear it: “come and get me, come and get me, COME AND GET ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I loved City Slickers.

Great experience. Best service I have ever had! Full refund adjustment on the 2 returns fares. I will ride it to Kauai wen Liz is put in charge.

Gotta go get replacement Xmas lightbulbs….

laterssss….

Did SteveM just initiate a cc at Camellia?

Nah–that’s Al’s chore. I just eat and do some Karaoke Calls. But here’s giving minimum 1.5 hour advance notice, just in case… 🙄

Go UH Wahine. A sure victory over Cal Poly awaits on Friday.

asbestos – i thought the stuff was outlawed long time ago

ST,
I loaded my iPod with Christmas songs last night!

ST – so how was practice today?

When I was a young apprentice machinist at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard I was exposed to broken asbestos lagging on hot water pipes on board the ships. We were so lolo at that time not knowing how dangerous that stuff was until workers started to die from cancer (including my uncle).

If I were the workers I wouldn’t go in there until the project was completely cleared of that stuff…

Kekoa – #36 – at first glance i thought you was talking about the dark side

Gloomy weather outside. Makes me want to go to sleep…..

Howzit Loa – long time no see.

Long Time UH Fan – hope you got yourself checked out after that exposure
i remember being sent to a physical at the shipyard and i ask my boss what for then he tells me they gotta get one radiation baseline before you work by the reactors
what? no wonder my hair falling out

From NY Times circa 1989

Until it was outlawed in the early 1970’s, asbestos was used to insulate, soundproof and fireproof buildings. The vast majority of buildings constructed in major cities between 1920 and 1970 contain asbestos. These structures include some of New York’s most famous – from the Pan Am Building to Madison Square Garden.

Outlawed in the early 1970’s? and still here? not cool at all.

howzit Stretch!
no more practice report?

Loa – ST don’t call me with the practice reports anymore so no can post them, the cell phone don’t catch here on Kauai, too far away. I just have to wait along with everyone else.

I think the asbestos they found was in the drywall compound, it’s where most of it was found on campus. I also know some of it is in the flooring tiles, usually the glue used for the tiles. I do work on campus as a subcontractor and usually that is the warning before we enter a building.

Wow… asbestos… that just goes to show you that nobody’s been doing any real maintenance for a long long LONG time. egads!

Aloha all! Hope your Thanksgiving eve is going well.

For anyone interested… the NaKoa lunch report has been posted by UHWarriors

http://www.nakoa.org/pages/lunch_summaries/lunch11_24_08.html

las vegas – thanks for the info, hmmm, if was outlawed in the 70’s i wonder got installed in 82-83?

too bad about TG, what a waste of potential.
if he had kept his head on straight and his nose clean,
UH should have beaten the Spartans and Aggies and would already
be bowl eligible at 8-3.
Good luck in your future endeavors post UH.

All dat true, Senor Vegas. All the best to Tyler.

Whoosh!

Stephen –
if by chance my name gets pulled for the VB tickets, please give them to DPK & son
thanks

I don’t think Pilares or Mouton will play this week.

If Wazzu is truly as bad as MANY people have said they are, then it would be best if they are kept healthy. I hope Rego will see more time on Saturday if Pilares isn’t ready to go.

As for Mouton, our secondary hasn’t been as tight as many of us thought in the beginning of the season, so his absence will be missed, but again, if Wazzu’s QB folds under pressure like how MANY said he does, then our front seven is talented enough to cause problems.

Still, to not have those two in any game gives the other team two more chances to beat us.

Loa,

There were no significant traces of asbestos; so I was OK. At the time I was working at PHNS, they were overhauling the sub USS Sargo. Some workers made tons of $$ working O/T and bought houses in Pacific Palisades for $25K. And they absorbed a lot of radiation; I wonder what the limits of milliroengtens was at that time and was it worth the money if they were overexposed…

ok gang, was nice to chat with erryone today even only for short time

have a safe and happy thanksgiving

i’ll be down the road from homey’s alma mater this long weekend seeking shade

aloha

Rob25: No worry about bringing my salad tongs.

Happy almost Thanksgiving everyone!

Howzit Tsai-kos!

Only a few more hours to go, then I get to brave the crowds at the grocery stores. Ugh. Went to Costco yesterday and the place was more of a madhouse than usual.

Early Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

…brought over from the last blog topic:

A-House – Last I saw Lucas Ingram he was around 6′4″ and a soaking wet 195#’s. He put on that much weight in one year? WOW!

Rob25 – Just eat what we bring!

bunch of landlubbers…

I think the 3 of us were like 3 n out the whole time on the Rio tables – that really sucked!!

Maybe change of venue will bring us real good luck.

g-nalo:
I think the 3 of us were like 3 n out the whole time on the Rio tables – that really sucked!!

Come on now, don’t put me in the same category as g-nalo when it comes to craps. Although he did claim to roll pretty good a few weeks back, but I wasn’t there to witness it.

Early Good Afternoon Everyone:

Wrote a DrDoc update for the last blog but accidently bleeped it when some e-mail came in.

Quick summary: DD is doing VERY well and has returned to work on a part-time basis about 12 to 18 hours a week which he’ll gradually increase over the next couple of months. His stamina level is still way too low to do much of anything beyond that – except for going to sporting events. He is walking up to 3/4 a mile every day and needs to increase that to at least three miles a day five days a week before he can go back to working out at the YMCA.

Although we skipped last Saturday’s game because of the junk weather – the last thing he needs is to get a cold – we have been going to various arena sports events. The only one we missed over the past 12 days was the WAC final game because he didn’t wake up from his nap until about 20 minutes before the first serve.

Two major hassles we’re still dealing with are food and yardwork. DD’s limited to 2000 mgs.of sodium a day. Even though we don’t even have salt in the house and haven’t ever, most commercially prepared foods whether purchased in a store or at a restaurant are loaded with sodium. In fact, we were told that the average adult-in-good-health’s daily diet in Hawai`i contains well over 10,000 mgs of sodium.

The yardwork stuff is a challenge – especially the back yard which is really in bad shape. A client of mine came over to mow the front lawn after the guy living next door to us complained to the landlord about how carppy it looked, but the back yard is way worse.

Fortunately, the jerk next door cannot see the back yard because of the 6 foot redwood fence. Unfortunately, we cannot afford to pay a yard service – the cheapest one we’ve contacted wants $250. I bought a scythe the other day to cut down the weeds’ngrass which are now almost waist-jhigh, but it will take me at least ten hours to cut it all down by hand so that I can push a lawnmower through the ankle-high remainder. I tried using a weedwacker, but I couldn’t control it very well and was concerned I’d wind up cutting up something valuable like my legs or Saturn The Dog.

Am back at work myself – first task is making courtesy calls to legislators. FYI: The new chair of Senate Higher Education, Jill Tokuda, happens to be my state senator. The big issue with respect to UH $$$$ is that the Gov has not issued bonds for various projects which were passed in the last two sessions whgich will expire next July if not released.

Rep. Jerry Chang will continue on as Chair of the Committee on Higher Education in the State House. His new Vice Chair is Mark Nakashima, another Big Island legislator elected for the first time this year. Mark Takai is also on this Committeel.

Rep. Angus McKelvey (West Maui) is the new Chair and Isaac Choy, the new rep from Manoa is the Vice Chair of the Economic Revitalization, Business and Military Affairs Committee which oversees the Aloha Stadium. Mark Takai also sits on this Committee.

Here is information from Wikipedia about asbestos & its removal:

Many buildings contain asbestos, which was used in spray-applied flame retardant, thermal system insulation, and in a variety of other materials. Asbestos was sometimes “flocked” above false ceilings, inside technical ducts, and in many other small spaces where firefighters would have difficulty gaining access. Structural components like asbestos panels were also used. In residences, asbestos was often a component of a type of flocked acoustic ceiling called “popcorn ceiling” or “cottage cheese ceiling”, until its production was banned in the U.S. in 1978. However, the ban allowed installers to use up remaining stocks, so houses built as late as 1986 could still have asbestos in their acoustic ceilings. The only way to be sure is to remove a sample and have it tested by a competent laboratory.

Depending on how and where asbestos was applied, it might not pose any risk to most users of the building. If the fibers cannot become dislodged, they cannot be inhaled, and thus the asbestos poses no risk.

However, some methods of applying asbestos, particularly flocking, allow asbestos fibers to gradually drop off into the air. Asbestos poses hazards to maintenance personnel who have to drill holes in walls for installation of cables or pipes.

Even if the workers are protected, such maintenance operation may release fibers into the air, which may be inhaled by others. Interventions in areas where asbestos is present often have to follow stringent procedures.

Have to go – CHEER LOUDLY FOR THE WAHINE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY AND SEE YOU ON SATURDAY AT THE T-GATE.

didnt rinda brooks make an impact after mack left. i thought it was ulbrich then rinda. he wore #1.

Rinda Brooks. Man, that’s a name of the past. I remember him being pegged as the hardest hitter on the team. Nice to hear names of our Warrior genealogy now and then.

Does anyone know the status of Miah Ostrowski? I’m assuming he redshirted for football this year (if he’s enrolled), but wondering why he isn’t playing basketball. I think he could have contributed at point guard this year.

I think he is redshirting this season.

Cattle Call?

If I don’t get on before tomorrow….

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE 🙂 🙂

it’s not a heavy book, but one that puts a lot of things in perspective….same author of ‘A Purpose Driven Life’. enjoy, and if not, still enjoy…………….

make memories, make memories, make memories…………..

Bulla – same to you…

after all of that, now i have to and take a peace………….haha

Bulla – #123 LMAO. 😆 😆

brew808 – according to the WAC Commisioner, it was a success.

Bulla,

Post #123….Too funny!

Hope Ryan’s shoulder is getting better …

Is he going to be ready for the playoffs?

Brew808 and A-House,

I agree…especially don’t play don’t pass at The Cal…whoa..plenty stink eyes..

I’m having a difficult time concentrating on my task at hand. Half of the office has already left to begin their Thanksgiving ritual. Expectations of hot turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy on my dinner plate has my mind wandering. Most of all, I will give thanks with the important people in my life who will be sharing our Thanksgiving meal.

To ST and all of the Tsaiko’s, have a blessed Thanksgiving. May you all enjoy happiness and love.

Come Friday, it will be hot turkey sandwich time. Yum.

Then Saturday, bring on those big kittens from Washington! I hope the Warriors play tough from the onset.

Prayers for all…including the hostages…

I wouldn’t want to be one of the “essential” workers that are being told to work while the asbestos problem is being fixed!

UH 42 Was who? 14

Thanks Loa! I appreciate the thought.

Just got back from Sam’s Club and Safeway. Madhouse times two. Everybody seemed to be in good holiday spirits.

Come on now, don’t put me in the same category as g-nalo when it comes to craps. Although he did claim to roll pretty good a few weeks back, but I wasn’t there to witness it.

Stretch:

Not putting anybody into a special category, but we were pretty bad at Rio – should have gone NO PASS.

yep, last time all three of us were PUNT, but not sure if the bad luck was the lead-off shooter Stretch or somebody’s forearm wasn’t nimble enough? nah nah j/k

next year we give it another try and i’m positive we’ll do better. yep, change of venue plus positive thinking.

BSU to face undefeated Ball State on the Bowl game on the blue turf? That would be an interesting matchup, especially since it would be the non-BCS conference teams who went undefeated and were left out of the BCS. That bowl would get a lot of attention!

The WAC and the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl folks want to keep Boise State in the game because of the revenue it would generate. But Boise State — assuming it defeats Fresno State to remain undefeated — thinks it deserves better than a date with a 6-6 ACC team on the blue. And the Broncos are right.

So the WAC and the H-Bowl is trying to secure No. 15 Ball State as a worthy opponent for Boise State.

The game — A Clash of the Unbeatens — would be the most significant H-Bowl in history. Boise State would be ranked in the top 10; Ball State in the top 15. It would give ESPN something to promote.

TCU beat BYU 32-7, but the Las Vegas Bowl will pick BYU over TCU.

Why does the Las Vegas Bowl, of which Kunzer-Murphy is executive director, appear to feel that the only team worth inviting from the Mountain West Conference is BYU?

That’s what an ESPN.com reporter seemed to indicate this week in a story that quoted Kunzer-Murphy.

“BYU has been here for the last three years and has completely sold out our stadium,” Kunzer-Murphy told ESPN.com. “They sell out the hotel partners, which are big sponsors for us, and they’ve provided us with great games the last few years they were here.

“On the other hand, TCU probably is the second-best team in the conference. They were here [in Las Vegas] three weeks ago and probably had, I didn’t count them, but maybe 500 people here. One of the things the Las Vegas Bowl is built on is trying to get people to Las Vegas.”

“BYU will always sell tickets,” he said, “as would anybody who draws 65,000 a game. But if that’s the case, why not just pick BYU on August 1 every year, based on pure mathematics?”

The Frogs could get invited to San Diego — and have to play Nevada or Louisiana-Lafayette.

Ugh.

What’s happening in Vegas … stinks.

Reading those comments regarding the Hawaii Bowl and how it should not be played, makes me feel disappointed. Don’t those people realize that any bowl game a team plays gets money? If there is only a handful of bowl games, then only a select few get a ton of money! Spread the wealth. Oh and I forgot what my password was to leave a comment over there.

Hey, gang! Hi, ST!

Just popping in to say hi. I’m not vying for the vb tickets! 🙂

afternoon tsai-kos pau hana and cleaning up so posting before heading out.

whomever UH plays the fans need to come out and support. warriors will represent so we need to fill up da hale.

but first things first, come out this sat and yell your arse off so we can get that 7 win. going be exciting. GO WARRIORS

LTUH,

mahalo for the good thoughts and prayers…..

talked to the beast today, he is in great spirits, shoulder is making a great comeback, full mobility at this point, at about 75% strength right now……he practiced today and is ready to go for the playoffs.

ironically, Cal Poly was one of the schools who wanted the beast, and rich ellerson is a former UH Rainbow Warrior himself. they have a beautiful stadium in san luis obispo, looking forward to a good game.

cal poly has a WR that is 6’6 and projected 1st 3 rounds for NFL; also on the Walter Payton Watch List…….

HAPPY THANKSGIVING…kind of like Happy…..Thanks……Giving….

we seem to be more HAPPY when we’re giving THANKS or just plain GIVING

we are all so very blessed, look around the world……then look at us, we have everything, and most importantly… we have our freedom. God Bless our troops in harm’s way, and thank you for all that have served in protecting our country.

IMUA WARRIORS
IMUA WILDCATS

ken=kden

Happy Thanksgiving All!

Just wondering but are we done with the recruiting news or is there still more to come. Just wondering.

shutting down so esmeeeeeeeeeeee out the door.

Navy is a good thought for a Hawaii bowl opponent for UH should they become bowl eligible. The big military contingency here and Niumatalolo and the local boys on their team would surely bring increased attendance campared to a Buffalo or a UTEP team.

Happy thanksgiving everyone! to the Bullas, have a safe trip to Cal Poly and I hope the Beast is healthy to play….

Things I have to be thankful for:

-Finding this blog and being able to experience things a lot of UH fans would through the efforts of people on this blog.

I meant to say:

“Finding this blog and being able to experience things a lot of UH fans would die for.”

Just got my Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl ticket in the mail. Wow, so this makes five straight bowls for me. I still remember my first one; I was a senior in high school, and when my friends asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I said I wanted to attend the game (I had only attended two UH games previously — the Jeep O‘ahu Bowl in 1999 and the game against LaTech when Timmy broke the record). They scrapped the money together, and let me use it to buy a ticket.

Ah, what great friends. I am truly blessed to have great friends, whether they be from five years ago or now, from school or here on the blog. Especially at UH games, where “it’s so nice to see familiar faces out in the crowd; it’s so nice to see friends of mine enjoy themselves.” 😀

Kekoa the ride on the SF would be smoother on the way back since they will be running down swell. Tell them not to feel too bad. I know plenty of people in the Coast Guard and Navy that get seasick too. If people think the Kaiwi channel between Oahu and Molokai is bad, wait until the SF starts running to the Big Island and has to cross the Alenuihaha channel between Maui and the Big Island. That channel is usually rougher than the Kaiwi channel.

Mr. Tsai . . .

As much as I would like to be able to use the tickets, sadly, I cannot. So . . .

Should I win the tickets please give them to DPK’s son. I sure hope the son will invite his father to the game!!!

Kekoa did you bring your fishing gear on the SF….with Diana and Kimana chumming the water, good chance to catch a marlin or a big ahi for your poke

How fast does the SF go?

Kind of fast trolling, I think. HA!

Before I sign off for the next couple days, I’d like to wish everyone here a Happy Thanksgiving holiday wherever you may be.

I might be back on the blog Saturday to partake in the in-game discussion.

Until then,
Whoooooooosh!

Happy Thanksgiving, Tsai-kos!

The GF took me out for some kalbi at her favorite kalbi restaurant on south side of the Han river last night. It was a traditional sit-on-da-floor-crossed-legged, grill-your-own-kalbi, restaurant. Ono-broke-da-mout dinner!

Pomai,

38 – 10

Okay, last one for the night.

Merry Thanksgiving Eve to all!!!

again, not to try to compete with THE Princess, but here’s 2nite’s news
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH-ZzjHgl84

Kid-too! 😆

Yes Jason, you may. But you prolly won’t need to as he is dignified, well mannered, and polite just like his “faddah”. 😆

Before I forget, Princess Leila; you did a masterful job of writing the Colt article. Yous is such a multi-tasking talented Princess aint ya?

the wahine can’t pass a ball to save their life. maybe they need this wake up call. they should’ve never left the big west. the wac is a joke for vball.
cal poly is only 3rd in the big west.
and i didn’t know the girls can wear make up when they play. some of the cal poly players clearly have stuff on.

Don’t all the girls like to look their best for you, chawan_cut?

thanks floridated.
i copied the wrong link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR_3FKnglzIc

and the wahine are finally playing like they should. they can’t afford to make mistakes.

The woman arrested in the bathroom at an Iowa football game on Saturday says that the incident ruined her life.

A Carroll woman who was caught having sex in the men’s room at an Iowa Hawkeye football game in Minneapolis last weekend says she’d had so much wine before kickoff that she doesn’t remember walking into the restroom, the man she had sex with in a stall, or when the police opened the door.

What Lois Feldman, 38, will remember is the humiliation afterward.

“It’s ruined my life,” she said through tears today. “Not just the incident but the press.”

Feldman, a married mother of three, has been the target of Internet jokes and prank telephone calls today. She was fired this morning from an assisted living center, where she had been an administrator.

At least things are a little more comfortable for the Wahine now. This test could be good for them to stay sharp before postseason play…as long as they pull it out and don’t lose their NCAA tournament position.

can’t even stay for the home game?

and i spoke too soon. the wahine are back to “normal”

chawan_cut,

It would cost more than $5k for my family to stay for the football game (either Idaho or Wazzoo). It cost just $1500 (which includes tax and fees) to leave on Friday, which includes a rental car. I couldn’t afford to stay for the game. Plus, if we stayed for either game my kids would have to miss school and the travel schedule would have been hard on my young kids.

No matter how much I love Warrior football, having my kids spend time with my parents and my wife’s parents was the most important thing. We are trying to find a similar deal to come home for Christmas, which if I get lucky will include the Hawaii Bowl.

wafan – yeah but the MPI MS teachers… sheesh. These were 7th & 8th grade girls and 2 or 3 of the teachers were 20-something males. VB season over for a while now and the teachers still lost!!! Then they go change the score. The teachers even brought in a ringer. Tara’s been student teaching since last semester (PE I think).

Tomorrow I get to brave the grocery stores and watch the Hoyas beat up on someone, then watch the Cowpokes lose (one can only hope the Seagulls actually find their game). 😀 🙄

Here is the list of the round of pardons given by Bush before he leaves office. I’m sure that there are interesting back stories on how these people got on the list instead of so many other candidates. This list isn’t as bad as the pardon list by Clinton right before he left office, at least in my opinion.

The Pennsylvania National Guard will use the “flying beer keg” to monitor operations in Iraq.

garret,
$5k vs $1.5k, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to make that choice, heh………

our girls are getting block all night long…game 5 is up

they did mention how many blocks and aces cal poly has after 4 games…

wow what a vb match.

gave shoji credit as he is a great game strategist as there is in college vb.

Wait – Liz Chun is wrong, isn’t she? Friday is Senior Night for Wahine VB, right?

Home run

5 in a row

what’s the actual Wahine score? The reporting kind kind of cryptic, lol.

Update on Bess starting for Miami.

The coach said Davone Bess is “the next guy up,” meaning he will start Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. But it is not quite so simple.

Because Bess plays a lot on special teams as a returner, the Dolphins don’t intend to merely add the extra work to his plate. They will add work, but they will add work to other players’ plate also.

The Dolphins are likely to promote a practice squad receiver before 6 p.m. Saturday — likely Anthony Armstrong — to take Camarillo’s place on the roster. And while Bess will start that doesn’t mean he’ll get every snap.

Happy Thanksgiving Tsaikos!
What I/we are thankful for:
The Tsaiko Ohana
Our military serving away from home
The parents of our Hawaii student athletes at UH and away
Coaching staff and student athletes who do more than just sports
(see attached link): http://picasaweb.google.com/808Cruiser/TsaikoMisc?authkey=d1CxvAjpGx8

Bigmac: picture in the above album shows Ching Field this morning just before practice. I guess completion will depend on the weather. The rolls look like the underlayment

Was this match supposed to be this tough?

rinda brooks…..eh?

in 2001, stephen tsai mentioned in an article about brooks selection as a hula bowl participant, that in spite of gaining 25 lbs over the past year, a 240lb rinda brooks was electronically time at 4.38 in the 40. gosh he should have played running back, no?

so we have reopened the New Mexico Military Institute connection with the recruitment of nathan mageo.

happy thanksgiving you all!

plenty cooking and eating going on tomw.

but, lets not all forget to be thankful for all that your life is surrounded by. it didn’t happen by accident. He planned it you see.

aloha all have a great time with family and friends on this thanksgiving.
God bless you all.

…nuff said.

Ditto al!

whew the wahine vball game was to close for comfort. 😯 only 2 points separated the teams in the 5 set match. friday nites game should be a stan sheriff rock um sock um battle again. UH teams making this year very exciting and heart pounding 😕 but main thing they win. 😆

I especially want to thank ST (and Wena) for creating this wonderful Warrior Beat and Tsaiko community where we can all share our enthusiasm for Warrior Football, UH Sports, and the rest of the F’s (Fun, Fuud, Friendship, Family, Fishing, Fooling-around, Falsetto-Tsinging, etc.). Although I have never met most of you, all of you have grown to be very important people to me, and I truly enjoy your company, each and every day!

Happy Thanksgiving Tsaikos!!! 😀

A tremendously super day is in store!

Millions across the globe can only dream of having the freedoms and rights we take for granted. We have clean water, homes with power and heat, very special people willing to safe-guard both us and our beliefs, and people who care about us even though we are Tsai-ko. Heck, we are so blessed as Americans we can even have fun discussing and arguing about games!

One of my girls, an exchange student from Denmark, was amazed at the amount of food her family was going to prepare for today’s feast. She asked if this was normal for Thanksgiving or if was just because she was here.

Three of my kids are losing their homes because their parents lost their jobs in the past couple of months. I have lost count of the number of student lunches I purchased for them and other kids. They promise to pay me back — I told them they just need to work hard in classes instead.

Be thankful and give thanks throughout the year for what we have!!!

New post up.
