Gate this, gate that e.g. Watergate, Pizzagate…now Capitol Gate. They like to break in to the Democratic National Headquarter. Not once, but twice. Each time, the perpetrator gets impeached. Nixon smells better in light of what has just happened (his “Plumbers” prosecuted and jailed, but at least no one died near Crystal City). Leaders stand…

It all started with anger turned inward. Angry at lost opportunities, at myself for making the wrong choices, taking the wrong turns and blaming the wrong people – anyone but myself. In short, self-implosion. I am addicted to winning, to be better than others, to never quit, to not lose. Getting pushed from behind, pulled…

It feels as though a thousand pounds have just been lifted from my chest as I hear fireworks and even gun shots (Texas) marking 2021 arrival. Like an approaching train that is finally here. The beginning of the beginning. The Big Reset. Well, I even re-started my laptop. And I shed some old skin and…

Of course I want to know what’s going on, where to find fish and where to avoid the lions. Thanks to those cave-paintings. It must have been painstaking to carve into rocks for instructions’ sakes. From oral tradition to print tradition (Silk-Road written contracts), from electronics communication to digital communication, we want to get out…

I should just leave this blog blank. That way, you, the reader can just “read-into” it, before a single line is penned. Such is the nature of pre-judging (a priori). All men are mortal alright. But it is also true, all men/women carry a set of pre-conceived notions and expectations about life and its potential.…

First the disease. Then the vaccine. Finally the rush to spend to line people up for a jab. Who are we going to enlist? Dead Presidents? X-Presidents? Or Presley (Elvis). It’s called “pair-association”. The “Like” factor i.e. if I like Lady Gaga, I am more likely to buy VOCE VIVA. Entertainment (pleasant) and Medicine (unpleasant)…

Whatever happened will soon be behind us. A long dark night!. Death tolls… sadness and sorrow. Urban and rural, college campuses and on-line courses. Vaccines are shipped. We got our proverbial email notice: “Help is on the way”. Good morning. To you, brother and sister. To those who are home-bound and bed-bound. Today is the…

Saigon during my time was divvied up into a dozen districts joined by multiple roundabouts. Growing up during the height of the Vietnam War, I came-of-age not without incidents. Those news events got out via News Bureau pouches and diplomatic pouches, but the personal stuff stayed in the vault of my memory. Sometimes, our alley…

It used to be someone else’s domain and responsibilities e.g. large-scale WW’s, large-scale energy outfits, large-scale media outlets, large-scale public health care…. Now, everything seems to splinter off, scattered around – distributed. What is newsworthy? what is real? (how many data points to make a proposition proof-positive?) Where to stop playing God with virus and…

The A isn’t in CAPS for a reason. It’s just my own, small “a” America which I know, being late in the game while still “Hail Mary” to get a decent final scores. I have no idea how it changes so quickly, right before my eyes (or in between my trips overseas). I first met…
