The Twinkie Times

The life and times of a Chinese American. Born a Jersey boy, lived the expat life, attended boarding school (Lawrenceville), converted to a frat boy (Sigma Pi), got an MBA (Columbia), returned to China, and back to the East Coast now trying to carve out an identity and life as an Asian American dad (gulp) in the midst of a "tertial life crisis" ©

Hallmark Holiday

Happy Valentine's Day to all.  Given that we have a potential hefty hospital bill (30% deductible) coming our way from the out-of-network surgery we did not do anything extravagant.  As is our normal tradition, we celebrated the night before at Son Cubano, a new swank restaurant/nightclub-wannabe that opened in our complex.  On the Hallmark holiday itself, we ordered Domino's pizza and watched a Charlie Brown Valentine and then Jenn's movie-of-choice: "The Way We Were"

On Sunday, Jenn gave me the mother of all scares.  She had been off of her anti-seizure medication for exactly one week.  In the middle of the night while we were sleeping, she began to seemingly convulse in her sleep.  Thinking that she was having a seizure I leaped out of bed and fumbled blindly for the light.  As I frantically checked if she was okay, she woke up blurry-eyed smiling and mumbled about how funny her dream had been.  She had actually been chuckling heartily to herself in her sleep!
