People never have any idea about me. They mostly just think I’m probably white … but I look 20 years younger than I should. 🤣 But I’ve had people think I was “Hispanic” (not sure how they defined the term, but basically south of the border), “Choctaw,” which was I assume a catch-all for all Native Americans, “Eskimo,” and all kinds of other wrong guesses. People want to find a label even where there isn’t really a good one available.

I live in the South, and when I was about 40, a friend’s mother told me that everyone used to point to me and my brother to prove that the school or country club or other institution was “integrated.” She said people were pretty shameless about it! Of course, Henry Cho has made a nice career of a similar life story, so that’s not necessarily a bad thing. 👍

Hello, brother! I have a white Dad and Chinese Mom, and I was born in the US in 1965!! My folks met double-dating other people, just like Harry Met Sally. 🤣

Costa Rica is fantastic. You should just make sure you like rice & beans because that’s part of every meal if you’re traveling on a budget. But they are excellent imho, and you can see both the Atlantic and the Pacific on the same day. Pretty damned cool! 😎

Just don’t take snacks to the beach with the monkeys. Those little fuckers will steal anything.
