All is well at the end of the road.
Fiona has 3 more years left to guarantee her social security benefits.  She misses Guangzhou food but is loving the USA.

Katie is still attending community college. She hasn't finished college yet and has landed a job with JBS (world's largest meat provider). Her first big girl job... Her title is international Documentation Coordinator. She interviewed for a clerk position but when they learned she is fluent in three languages they created this position just for her.   That's her discovering my red V-star.

I'm still retired but taking odd jobs now and then to get extra money to fund my hobbies. Still refurbishing old motorcycles.  I got a second V-star to keep my first one company.  I got really fat over the last couple years so last year I started a low carb-high fat diet. I lost 70 pounds and I am at the recommended weight for my height.  Now if I can just keep it off with Thanksgiving and turkey& dressing, pies and such just around the corner.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Still here.  We've been married 11 1/2 years and she's been here 1-1/2 years.

Life is mostly good.  I'm battling cancer right now.  The prognosis is good but the process in a pain.  We caught it early.

We're opening a second store 5 times larger that the first and we are going to try to operate both.

Help me out by liking then following my store on facebook.  The Blade Guyz  I'm trying to get to 100 follows to get data about the demographics of people who are looking.  It also moves me up in suggesting my site to new people.  Thank you in advance for doing it.

All this and I'm almost 69 and going strong.

Shaun and Xinjiao

Trying not to be around, but desserts do taste good. Finished up my 3 year Acupuncture course and need to write provincial exams in order to be able to practice. This will help out at my wife's clinic.Anybody else been exposed to moxibustion? As well plenty of Chinese herbs and formulas. Happy New Year to all and may this year be good to all
Life....It's all about finding the Chicks and Balances
