Hiked Robenson Mountain

Bailed out after 2500 ft gain in 2 miles at Robenson mountain.  I rarely bailed out a hike but I was just too sleepy to continue after my jet lag. My jet lag almost cost my life in 1999 when trying to drive from Boston to NJ right after Asia and totaled my car. I know better now when to quit.

Still enjoyed a beautiful day outside. Hitch hiking back to Centerville, and now into DC for earth day concert.

Earth day

Listened to the earth day concert while Usher was performing and toured around the exhibits to do fun stuffs including taken a space trip photo, the ultimate journey of all. The concert is streaming live on YouTube. Check out the Global Citizen channel.

Away for South East Asia for one month

My mom passed away, and I will be in Taiwan for her funeral, meet friends and family, and then travel to Indonesia and the Philippines for three weeks. Since Mom suffered from chronic fatigue, her death was not a total surprise. I believe it was a relief for her, so I am grieving in peace and carrying on my life with a sense of urgency to hurry up with my bucket list...

Here is my South East Asia blog http://jtseasia.blogspot.com/

National Symphony Orchestra in a Spanish mood

Listened to the performance of National Symphony Orchestra: Christoph Eschenbach, conductor: Four French Composers Inspired by Spainat. The visiting violinist entertained my eyes with her sexy Spanish dress more than my ears with her music, while NSO did a awesome job with Bolero. There are two interesting exhibits in the center now. — at Kennedy Center Concert Hall.

Inside Our Dreams - Jeanne Willis

Where do people go to when they die? 

Somewhere down below or in the sky? 

'I can't be sure,' said Grandad, 'but it seems 

They simply set up home inside our dreams.'
