Type A (personality and blood)

On Thursday I’ve got a big test—30 formulas, 120 herbs and their actions (all in Chinese). So for now, I’ve got work to do.

But next weekend, my brother and I are taking my dad skiing at Breckenridge.

And then Elizabeth and her lovely, adorable daughter Soren will be in town. And so will Koji.

I’ve got lots to look forward to and that always makes the hard work seem less hard.


This is a letter from Koji:

it was cool today at work. a manager asked me to do a split shift. i told him that i would not do split. he asked me why. i told him "what am i? a cheap chineese labor?". actually his girlfriend is chinease and he is white. then he gave me an old taco salad. he told me not to have a break but I could have the taco salad. it was not good at all. it was old. he asked me why i did not like it. i sad to him "what do you think i am? Mexican?" it was funny. i should start making all kinds of racial jokes like that. i have to be careful though.
