I’m in a contemplative mood. The last few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about “time” and “life”. After being in Laos twice in the past month, you can’t help but notice how “time” there seems to move at a slower pace than that of hectic Bangkok with its buzzling streets and traffic jams. “Life”…

I love dogs and if you’ve ever talked to me about dogs you’ll probably think I’m a little crazy. Now with James, a labrador, and Zoey, a Thai dog, I could spend hours talking about them. I have pictures and video clips of them on my phone and my eyes start to smile just thinking…

There are many stories, reviews of travels and eateries waiting to be told, yet tonight I feel like writing about dear James and Zoey, my two dogs. It’s been roughly three months since we’ve had James and four months since we’ve had Zoey. Time flies happily when you have dogs and I have to say…

When was the last time you had a peaceful Sunday morning? For me it’s been awhile since I had a relaxing Sunday like today. Weekends are usually hijacked by the errands and other obligations that necessitate us being up, dressed and out of the house, or just waiting for people to arrive. I have come…

Sitting in my study looking out the window, I am still thinking about “The Descendants” I wrote about yesterday. That movie was about a man, a successful lawyer and a land baron who had devoted all his time to his career, to making money only to later realize he had “lost” his family. Although his…
