Oh Soju!
One of the things I like to do with some friends is go out and eat Korean food. Sadly, R is not a fan, so I go with others. The best part is drinking soju and getting very happy. Over the years, I have met very few non-Koreans who can handle soju. Even many Koreans…

Feeling…Excellent!
It dawned on me the other day that I cannot remember the last time that I felt so good physically and even mentally. I think I am probably in better shape now than I was in my 20s and I really feel good. The Paleo diet has made a huge difference in my physical appearance…

Happy 42nd Birthday to the UAE

Coaching: Session 10
Phew, last night was a toughy and I am not sure how much detail I will write as it focused a lot on love. There were two events yesterday that sort of opened my eyes wider to my relationship causing me to think more deeply about what I want and, more importantly, what I deserve.…

Alicia Keys in Dubai
Ages ago, B and I planned to go see Alicia Keys in Dubai. This is the only concert I had agreed to go to this year as I am often disappointed by the performance as well as the atmosphere. Since it was in Dubai, I thought I would give it a chance. Well, it was…
