• I arrived in Chicago a couple hours ago after a two hour delay at the
  airport.  I'm teaching a class here for the next 3 weeks then it's
  off to Dallas.  Last week, I was holed up in an apartment studying
  for a test I'm taking in 6 weeks.  I wanted to get as much
  studying done the past 2 weeks cause I'm not sure how much free time
  I'll have once I start working again.  Hopefully, all the studying
  will pay off. 

  I have great friends, who helped me out when I needed it.  It's
  great to have those few people that you can turn to cause it's not too
  often that you meet quality people.  Those are the people that can
  turn your crappy day into a great one with just the small things in the
  world that people take for granted. 

  My grandparents are here from Vietnam for the first time and hopefully
  I can go back and visit them in the next few weeks.  I called last
  weekend to say hi and see how they were doing.  My dad picked up
  the phone and convo goes like this:

  Dad: Hello?  Who's this?
  Me:  Hi Ba. It's Bi.
  Dad:  Hello? 
  Me:  Ba...it's Bi.
  Dad:  Excuse me, may I ask who's calling?
  Me:  BA.  It's Bi.  Your son.
  Dad:  Oh hi.

  Crazy dad.  At times, he still calls me by my brother's nickname
  instead.  You'd think that he'd figure out who's who by now.
