This post is very overdue in coming.  Apologies.  Between an active holiday season and slow jumping off into 2014, I’ve been neglecting my writings.

Not that this is really any kind of earth shattering stuff, but some of you have decided that it’s somewhat amusing and/or entertaining.

Quick catchup:

Went to Bali for Xmas and New Year’s.  First time we’ve traveled to a ‘foreign country’ during fall/winter since Paris in 2005.  Was in Cayman for six out of seven ‘festive seasons’ and I don’t count that as a foreign country.  We had a good time that keeps getting better as time goes by.

Meaning that while we were there there were some challenges that made it tough for us to reconcile our expectations with the reality of what we were experiencing.  It was like this:

Know what I mean?

In any event, we got back to Seoul in one piece and have had a kind of shaky start to the new year.  A few funds have been delayed in getting to us, and hopefully all of that will be rectified in short order and we’ll be able to move forward in a few ways we’ve been counting on.

We went to a place in Pangyo this past weekend called Avenue France. For the record, it is completely (and not unexpectedly) inappropriately named as it is neither anything like an Avenue or anything like France.

At least the “Paradise Pie” a la mode at Tartine was good.

After we devoured half of it, we realized it should be warm and scraped the remaining ice cream off the top and had the gal nuke it for 90 seconds… Then it was great.

I finished off the weekend this morning with the Super Bowl. Quite a change from last year.

But whaddya gonna do?

In the meantime, time marches on and the continued quest for satisfaction is underway…
