  Me & My Little General in Weolpyeong Park

  Dear Folks,

  In my Korean Language study this morning, there was a sentence, "이왕에 가기로 했으면 가야지."  This translates roughly as "If you have decided to go, you had better go."   I like that.  It is reminiscent of the venerable dictum, "Do your sacred business or get off the pot."

  We go to Krispy Kreme Doughnuts from time to time.  I may have mentioned it before, but have never gathered a substantial number of photos to illustrate our time together in this context.  Be advised,  I will attempt that now, herein, if I can find the photos.  Well, I uploaded them to www.flickr.com/photos/wnlong.  Check there if you are innerested.

  The Unintentional:

  Well, I must do something to make a living, like I felt I must major in something while in college.  But, I have found that those things which I began to do relatively well were ones which I did not really intend to do, develop.  Perhaps it is that God has stronger influence on me in the development of things I do not hold so dear in pride.

  When in college, I started writing a lot.  I got better at it.  But I didn't mean to do it, never set out to make a writer.  Now, I take a lot of photos.  I don't know where this is going, but it surely does alter my behavior.  I will take two or three hundred photos on an outing, walking about town with my children.  Most of them are nominal duds, but occasionally a real rocking horse winner comes to the surface.  I enjoy looking back over them in my home, on my computer, but don't really have as much time to do that as I would like.  I could see myself becoming a real addict, and not getting much else done, in the future, when our one-year-old gets on his own more.  Right now, he depends on me tending him just about all day long.  So, I do.  (He's asleep right this minute.)  But, the point is, I am an English teacher and father/homemaker.  I bought a good camera last winter, only because I knew we needed one, had for a long time, to record the childhood of my children.  It has morphed into much more than that. 

  Sunday School can be a blast

  I now take photos of buildings and people in Taejeon and get some that I think are rather good.
