    Fun in Tahoe

    Previously, I posted a philosophical piece on my blog, but now, I wanted to back-fill with a few light entertainments to boot…here is one of them:

  • The Perfect Meal

    The Perfect Meal

    To follow, my wife made a reservation at King’s Fish House, but we thought it was at posh Santana Row, so we drove over there and parked.

    (Hunan Yuan) Today, my family took me out to lunch to my favorite Chinese restaurant in California, Hunan Yuan of Redwood Road, Oakland.
