John Foster Talks about 3 Es

Mochi!

YO must be reading my mind. She always sends me exactly what I want. This time, mochi! A-ha! What should I eat them? Zenzai ... yummm ... simply sugar and soy sauce ... yummm ... with peanuts butter, nay, too American. It will take time to make up my mind, and I will definitely enjoy wondering, hee hee hee.

Thanks, YO! I bowed three times toward Tokyo :)

Awesome Aerial Tour!

SB took me for an aerial tour this evening, which turned out awesome! He took me to the coast in a matter of minutes, and few up north. The scenery was amazing, and the flight was smooth. What a wonderful break from my work! Thanks a bunch, SB!


SB also told me that lots of rich and famous people including actors who own private jets and often visit here. But he didn't give me any details because he has to keep confidentiality of those people. Anyway, it was interesting enough to know there are many people who spend tons of money on aircraft and enjoy expensive fun.

Only Self Service in Oregon?!

Pumping gas by yourself is not allowed in Oregon, but obviously pilots are allowed. This cracked me up hard, hee hee hee!

Extravaganza!

It was interesting. C told me a couple of days ago that there would be a fun get-together among business people. So, I went there, which was a Japanese restaurant a little out of town, which turned out that they serve very nice food, but of course expensive.

Yeah, they were business people who got together for business purposes. They were looking for business opportunities through ... drinking. Interesting. For me, you know, I am not a business person but a student. I just chatted a little bit with those strangers, and hanged out with my friends. I was lucky to have R and C, who are both business people but friends of mine. R and C bought me drinks and food, and I got drunk! I feel good, drinking with my friends, not drinking alone!

ASA & IAMCR

Yea, my papers were accepted by a couple of conferences in the summer! Now, I have to plan my travels around ... and manage my money :(

Term-End Excelsior

AB is awesome. She wined and dined us (6 students) for a term-end celebration at Excelsior, a.k.a. fancy restaurant not for graduate students. Her class was invaluable, and the classmates were precious.
