On nostalgia -

"Once a things been done it's been done, so why all this nostalgia? I mean, for the 60's and 70's, you know, looking backwards for inspiration, copying the past. How's that rock and roll? Do something of your own. Start something new. Live your life now."

- John Lennon

"You should create your own icons and way of life, because nostalgia isn't glamorous. If I had one thing to say it would be, live your life now."

- Marilyn Monroe

At practice a new student said she couldn't figure out my accent and thought at times it sounded a bit Scottish. That's a first.

You know you've lived in the US a long time when you feel it's odd that people in Hong Kong are ordering orange juice with their DINNER (and hotels are charging over US$10 per glass). For me it's become a strictly breakfast/daytime beverage.

Better than bold statements are bold questions.
