I am completely ignorant to the Muslim religion or Islam or being Muslim or the customs. A guy I work with mentioned in passing several days ago “Ramadan is coming up”… So, I was curious what that meant?, what is done?, for how long? Why? What is the benefit for you?… and a whole bunch of other questions.
So, out of ignorance I thought I would do some more research and participate in Ramadan. This is day #1.
I am *really* looking forward to the opportunity to reflect on all the reasons I’m grateful and get some clarity… maybe.. we’ll see… I’ll let you know 🙂

Here’s the website a friend gave me for the Sehr and Iftar times here in San Diego:

As I was driving into work this morning, it struck me that one of the cool little pieces of technology that has entered my life is the sensors on my rear view mirror… I have not had to toggle the mirror to control the brightness in 3 cars now… so, that’s about 9 years of no toggling. Has that improved my life significantly? Probably not. Are there 100 other things in the last 9 years (…9 months?) that have improved the quality of my life through technology? I bet there are!!!

Now that I have been back in San Diego for a while I am really feeling “home”. Talk about GRATEFUL. The weather at this time of year in San Diego is sometimes called “May Gray”.. then we roll into “June Gloom”… so, not exactly the panacea of environment if you are seasonally affected. However, its times like this that IF i pause, I can really get grateful for where I live.

If you don’t think the US is pretty freaking spectacular, you haven’t been elsewhere. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of imperfection here at home.. even in the “paradise” that many other parts of the country believe is the constant experience we get living in San Diego.

It’s pretty cool yeh. But I still have a constant hunger for travel and exploration!

I stopped at Katy’s Cafe this morning for a Vietnamese Latte and there were 4 police cars.. all running. I didn’t see the officers anywhere but sure felt safe! 🙂

Here’s a link to one of the Surf Webcams we have near Imperial Beach:

And if you have any experience getting a Schengen Visa I’d love to hear about it.

Just checking in one morning as I go for a walk in Imperial Beach… South of Coronado, South of the Silver Strand, South of Imperial Beach and probably the closest any of you might get to Mexico. There is a Great Beach!!! (at least in my opinion 🙂

Experience at Bangkok Bank, Jomtien, Pattaya Thailand

I needed to head from Manila (MNL) to Bangkok (MNL) to get the best flights to my next stop so, I figured I’d ‘layover’ in Pattaya Thailand for a night as I wanted to complete some business at Bangkok Bank. Since I opened the account in Jomtien it was more effective to physically go in and have them complete the modifications I needed to my account.
I have heard varying reports from people about how Bangkok Bank is Bad … or Good… quite frankly, my experience with all banks I’ve ever dealt with is that a lot of it depends upon the mood, attitude and skills of the people on the other side of the counter/desk.
Today’s experience was decent.

Thought I’d share a bit of my experience.
Hope you enjoy.
