It's the 16th in Seoul, but still June 15 in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where my best buddy Mike lives. The 15th is Mike's birthday—his 56th this time. I hope he's having a good one.

| Me and my buddy Mike last year, after my heart attack; it was his first time back in Korea since 1995. |
Mike came to see me in Korea in 1995. We had a meal with my Kiwi buddy John Williamson at the Swissôtel—fondue, if I remember correctly. We did some touring around Seoul, including a tour of Changdeok Palace, where Mike lightly flirted with our cute Korean tour guide. Back in the States later that year, tour guide forgotten, he met and fell in love with Rebecca. Not long after that, they got married, and my goddaughter was born in 1997. Mike was good enough to visit me after my heart attack last August.
Happy Birthday, man! Enjoy the rest of your day.
Thank you. I pulled the plug on the intertoobs over the weekend. Between all the protesting, counter-protesting, parades, shootings, and mayhem I'd had enough. So I didn't see your kind post until just now. It was a good weekend for me. Peace.
