Tai Chi in China

July 22, 2018 by Marlena FiolLeave a Comment

Our dear tai chi master, Dr. Paul Lam, and his partner Hazel invited us to join them as part of a small group on a two-week tai chi workshop/tour of China. Dr. Lam said he designed the trip to be “fun and serious, leisurely and exciting, like the yin and yang of tai chi.” This design of contrasts generated a trip of remarkable paradoxes: Absolutely clean wide modern streets and filthy holes-in-the-ground bathrooms. Great Wall preserved … [Read more...]

Far from the Madding Crowd – Our Half Day Jaunt in San Francisco

April 29, 2017 by Fern LeeLeave a Comment

Where do you go with half a day to kill in San Francisco? We decided to eschew some of the more touristy hotspots and headed to Potrero Hills, the Mission District and SoMa to see the real San Francisco. We drove into the city on a Sunday morning when parking is free, arriving at around 10am. At that time in the morning, we were still lucky enough to find parking, although it was filling up fast. Our first stop: 18th Street, Potrero Hills. … [Read more...]

Handcrafted San Francisco Experience + Giveaway, Stearns & Foster + Jetsetter

October 20, 2015 by DaveLeave a Comment

Cyclepaths in Cuba

May 31, 2015 by Richard Bangs2 Comments

My father, usually a quiet man, burst through the door and hustled the family in front of the television set. He said we were on the verge of something terrible and we needed to see and understand. It was October 22, 1962. My father, a career officer at the C.I.A., seemed distressed with things he knew that others did not. We then watched in horror as John Kennedy described the Russian missiles west of Havana, capable of reaching our home in … [Read more...]
