It has been a interesting but tough half year for me. The shut down of our kids day care center started to rock my regular life in September. What worse was the 2nd stroke of my father in December, which has been keeping him on the bed for four months. All the injuries I suffered from different sports seem to hit me all at the same time. Kids are growing up fast, and I am craving to spend more time with them each day. I am looking for some change, looking for my direction.

Changes does not necessary mean bad. I has been driving by myself a lot after Mentor closed the day care center. It has been tough since I missed talking to Tina, and just listening to the kids crying. Or miss the time we all went to Club Sports after work.

I have been in Taiwan three times in four months. Each trip made me think more about my life. The first one was by myself in the new year eve. The second one was still by myself, but ran into lots of acquantences. Late March, early April, I took my son with me, for tombs sweeping, and expected him to mingle with my nephew.

Friends, are something I cherish the most. I am lucky that I still have many friends who could connect well. Playing fantasy sports is keeping me busy, and learn a lot. Now, I finally adjust myself, and find some good use of the driving time. I have been listening to lots of the CDs I missed for a long while. I have been listening to radio, and heard many different story. There are lots of good stuffs that I could write about. I would gather my thoughts and keep working on this station.
