Anything other than yes is no
Anything other than stay is go
Anything less than ‘I love you’ is lying!
This song reminds of two Beatles’ songs. The guitar in the early part of the song reminds me of the song called Something, which has been regarded as one of the greatest songs of all time….
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
But the ending is like Hey Jude, which is one of my favorite Beatles song…
Hey Jude don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it better
Better, better, better, better, better, Yeah,Yeah,Yeah
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na, Hey Jude!

Mount Vegas
Lately I have been craving engaging in a strenuous physical activity similar to backpacking the Yosemite backcountry earlier this year. I was watching the news about the one dead and two missing climbers on Mount Hood, and I suddenly have an urge to do something like that myself. I read about the Kilimanjaro climb recently in a book. It’s all very intriguing. I am looking into making an attempt to climb Mount Rainier. I should have attempted while I lived in WA. But it’s never too late.
However, my next trip is a stark contrast to a strenuous hike.
One of my close friends from college called. Turns out four of them are planning a New Year’s Eve trip to Vegas, and he wanted to know whether I wanted in. Admittedly, I have not done Vegas before, I prefer getting my hands dirty, and Vegas is an expensive proposition; nevertheless, I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to hang out with the guys I went to college with. It sounds almost like a bachelor party as no wives/girlfriends are coming.
I called him back, I’m in.
Vegas, here I come!

My friend's email that made my day
Dear M ;
Sorry to take so long to reply . I just revisited your pix of Death Valley , Hoover Dam & Zion . You really do take some very nice landscape photos. Many of them would look great matted and framed and on the wall of your home or gallery. I am serious . You do have an artist's eye for a good picture. Where are you off to next ? I haven't traveled since Sept . Life has been busy nonetheless . For two months now I have been dating a woman whose major pastime is both painting and photography. It has been very enjoyable and I am hoping it will continue . I feel sure there will be some travel ahead
sometime. I hope you are happy and healthy. My good wishes for the holidays and the New Year ! Do keep in touch. jn

NY, NY
A bad book is like a bad relationship. You should get out but you cant. It was at a Hudson News kiosk at O'Hare that I realized I was in the middle of a bad book that I didnt want to put down. Its called Travels by Michael Crichton and is about the author's adventures around the world. I just think he is too full of himself. Or perhaps I feel I am a better adventurer.
Today, I lost my belt at the airport. Well actually I forgot it at the security check point. Its too late now to look for a new one. So for tomorrow's meeting I will be wearing a suit with no belt. Room service menu sucks.

ATL
I had a great Thanksgiving holiday with my family. It was very peaceful. Good food and fun was had by all. I especially enjoyed time with my two nieces and my nephew, aged 15, 11, and 7. They have grown up and we have interesting conversations.
For example, they asked me if I had a Facebook page. I said, no. They discussed amongst themselves and with me whether I should get one. They remained rather noncommittal until the last minute but then voted 2-to-1 in favor. They also deliberated whether I should get a PS3 or a Wii. My brother has a PS3 and they have a Wii. I played games on both systems and enjoyed the Wii a tad more. They voted 3-to-0 in favor of the Wii. They had something to say about my clothes, sense of humor, and sense of style. they think my sense of humor is too dry, that I can be real sarcastic, and that I pay way too much attention to what I wear.
My mother has lost some weight since the last time I saw her; moreover, she has had to shave hair off of the front of her head for the surgery, and cut her hair short all over. She looked good though. She prepared the best Thanksgiving meal of all time. It was so good that I decided not to count a single calorie all the time I was there. We ate together, talked, and watched our favorite shows on TV. I loved being with mom.
We also went to Stone Mountain and Piedmont Park. My brother gave my nephew a small toy plane and we tried to fly it in the park.
I bought them gifts. I gave my old Kodak camera to my older niece, and bought the younger one a camera from Target. The nephew wanted an iPod shuffle but I thought he wasn’t ready for it yet. Instead I bought him books and CDs.
Time flew by too quickly. I needed the break and the love.
You know I am not the prefect human being. I made many mistakes in my life. I didn’t always handle the situation the right way, I didn’t always have the answers, I didn’t always stay strong. I have my weaknesses, and I have my quirks. But as I was sitting on the train on my way to Atlanta airport, I thought I felt peaceful then. That despite my shortcomings and failures, and weaknesses, I could honestly say I was never a bad person. I loved with all I had, I gave with an open heart, I sang at the top of my lungs, laughed and cried, fought well, and retreated when required. I hope I never hurt anyone. And if I did I hope they know it was never intentional.
