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" ©

Year of the 龙

In Chinese, dragon is pronounced 'long' (long o - no pun intended) and there has been some recent controversy here about the new Dragon Stamp which was unveiled prompting some silly considerations of rebranding the whole Lunar year as Long instead of Dragon to avoid the association with the fire-breathing monster known in the West: Washington Post Article.

But as we prepare here for another whole week of public holiday, we kicked off the year with some great news.  I accompanied Jenn to ProMed for her 1-year MRI and it was totally clean.  An auspicious beginning!  Cheers to that!!
