I failed to update this thing yesterday so decided to add my two sense a little bit earlier in the day. Today, its snowing. Of course, I'm not too terribly excited to announce this however, it is kind of nice to see this cold white stuff return to Utah. There is one thing I especially hate about this particular storm, though-blistering wind! I wouldn't mind if snow just fell, but the wind is excruciating. I almost couldn't breathe this morning when I got out of my toasty car!
I digress. Let's now have an update on the lives of Sam and Stacy Wood. Yesterday, Sam went to work and had some pretty funny experiences with his students. I particularly like the stories of William, the shy Chinese boy, and the stories about how kids try to get out of playing sports. I suppose it would be better if he explained. I shall encourage the male counterpart to add to this blog. For me, I went to hula last night. Our Kumu hula was supposed to fly in from SFO but he missed his flight so we just had a regular practice. I have to say, this type of dancing is more like exercise. I always end up panting and shaking when class is over. Thank goodness we got to eat afterward (Kalua Pig, chicken long rice, fruit and the like). That evening, Sam and I relaxed while watching the Olympics, specifically the two- (wo)man bobsled and the women's (although it should be called teenagers or young women's or girls') short program. We both hoped that Mao Asada and Kim Yu-? would do well because they have so much cultural and social pressure on their shoulders. If they fell, they would disgrace their whole nation and culture and be shunned! I'm not speaking from experience at all.
Anywho, tonight should be a great one for Sam. He is going to a Jazz game with Adam for Adam's birthday. Yes, he is using my ticket for this (He asked me and I said "ok" thinking that I would have some Chinese New Year thing to do, but I found out last night that that thing is actually on Friday. Blast!). Am I jealous? Absolutely. Am I bitter? A little. But, its a good present and I don't have much to lose. I'm happy (sort of) to do it. That just means I'll be at work until 8 tonight (I'm gonna buy my own ticket to Jazz game and it will be good seats too! Take that Sam! Just kidding. I'll probably buy him a ticket too.). Get ready for a fun update tomorrow.
