"A successful man is someone who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of others and the love of children; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty ; who always looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. "
- a variation of "Success" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Season's Greeting


Massanutten Resort

A trip to Massanutten Resort with friends concluded our busy year.  A log home on the top of the mountain, magnificent view of ski slopes, 4 days staying with friends, excessive drinks and foods, water park splash and first snow in the ski, life is good!

It was Alvin's first time to ski and he did well beyond our expectation.  After 4 hours group lesson, he and his good friend Anthony insisted practicing more ski on the slope for another 3 hours.  They reluctantly left the ski slope when they called for early closure for Christmas eve.  At the end, Alvin told me, "I enjoyed it very much."
