Korean Girl in the West, thanks for reading so long, and the wonderful comments. I wish I didn’t have to wear neckties. I sometimes don’t wear them on weekends, because I gots to be free. Or pretend that I am. We have no shortage of kim chee since Amy’s mom lives two minutes away and we have a fridge in the basement, but thank you! (I will tackle that Hangul script after I get a full night’s sleep.)

Kim, I am nothing if not persistent. Or afraid of change, at least. Thanks!

Dongseng, I know you want to hit it.

안녕하세요 to you and your lovely wife and children! This is the first time I am posting a reply. Like John J, I think I first somehow came across your site (the old one) maybe 5-6 years ago while researching on pregnancy (ha-ha just out of curiosity…) The very first post I read was about your wife’s delivery of Sunsu and I remember ooh-ing and aah-ing at 1am in my room. And I remember spending more hours through the night going through your entries because I was so hooked- as in I felt I was experiencing it all vicariously. It was also really cool when I found out you were half ‘C’orean. =p I still stop by, especially when life starts to feel sucky as hell and I need a good chuckle. I can’t believe how beautiful your children have become- future heartbreakers in the making. Yah really.

Well, I just wanted to say thanks for all your hilarious, no-nonsense chronicles of your life. Btw, I almost choked on water when I was reading about the neckties. I never see doctors in LA wearing those. That sucks. They think they’re too hip for em or something. When it’s probably the other way around. Lol.

I especially love seeing all the photos of your gorgeous kids and your wife. If the Liles family were my neighbor in Koreatown, I could have brought over some jars of homemade kimchi (well, my mother’s) every now and then. Hehe. ;p

잘 읽고갑니다~ 가족분들과 행복한 좋은 하루되세요!^^
