    On Thursday, I had lunch with Sumayya, a former co-worker of mine from Palm. We had lunch at Los Charros, home of the famous and delicious wet burrito. That’s a delicacy that Dardy introduced me to. Yummy! After lunch, we took a walk over to the Mountain View City Hall,…

    Ever wonder why the shins and insides of your feet hurt so much after exercising or extended walking? You might be overpronating. Ever since I dislocated my elbow last year, I have listened more closely to the signals my body sends me. The last few times that I’ve exercised, I’ve…

    I had dinner with Randy, Renny, Alf, and Joon-Mo this evening at the Southland Taste Restaurant, located at 10825 N. Wolfe Road in Cupertino. This restaurant’s claim to fame is that it serves authentic Taiwanese food. I’m not Taiwanese, so I wouldn’t know if it was authentic or not, but…
