Let me put my thoughts in you. By Joe

The land of the morning calm, more like the land of people not paying any attention to where they are walking. The other day while on my bike I was riding along and almost took out two old ladies and did knock into a high school kid. Lets start with the high school kid, I was going along at a good clip and hugging a pretty tight line as not to hit any people walking. I had just crossed the light and was looking right at this kid and he was looking at me, so I think he is going to keep walking on his path and not veer... Wrong I think he was trying to impress his friends and with a big smart ass smile he drops his head and starts walking right into my path. Now up to this point I had had a pretty shitty day of bad walkers and E Mart hell, so I said "f" this little punk and I dropped my shoulder into him has I rode past and just about knocked him down to the deck. The old ladies where just old...

Tonight we tried a dish of super spicy hell broth with mini crabs in it. I would say the crabs where about the size of a US quater. I heated up the crab dish in the wok with some sesame oil and extra garlic till it was a hot red mess of crab and red peppers. The dish was tasty but the crab was a bit crunchy as you would imagine a shelled craeture to be, so that kinda put us off the dish. What the hell we tried it.

The other night we watched our friend's two little dogs. I was more than happy to do this, #1 they are very cute. #2 I love dogs, and we are good friends. The pair are a boy and girl that where rescued from the streets a few months back, Penny who is a girl and Oliver the boy dog both have a lot of energy and are great pets from what I can tell. Penny was a bit bitchy and when I stopped playing with her for a little bit she walked over by my foot, looked at me and then took a pee on the floor as to say ya this just happened... Oliver was great and had no problems at all. We took the pups for a good long walk and played with them in the school lot for a bit. After that we took them back upstairs where they both just kinda chrashed out on the floor till they where picked up

Random thoughts... Rugby has been fun and can't wait to run around again. I was just starting to get fit again. I/we are really looking forward to our road trip around Korea. We have rented a car for a week in january and will do a few day trips and two over night trips. I really enjoy the food and love kimchi. The beer sucks. It was good to see snow, but now there is just ice with some random sprinkles of sand to help with footing. I have been playing with Lego's again, I forgot home much I loved them. Christmas was pretty awesome!(see Christmas post) Go Bears!

Thank you for letting me put my thoughts in you.
