1914 charlie chaplin and the less wellknown Mack Sennett display their comic talents. my grandfather Park Woong-rae would have been 9? also my grandmother who married him was born in the unlucky year of the white horse (for girls anyway)

strange that i ‘remembered’ Princess Diana’s death a day before it made the news. bc i thought i had already seen the article out the corner of my eye – we were living in London, Ontario at the time, house on Muskoka Court. #Fantino. subliminal?
in 1980 i was in high school at Lord Beaverbrook High School in Calgary #Trump

kennedy shot nov 1963

yertle the turtle. katie and i read this a lot too… :)
words fail me …lol
picnic at kyungbok goong seoul, 1962? bc i’m not there, and mom doesn’t look visibly pregnant. looks kind of like autumn, cos mom’s dressed in a heavy looking fabric, and the student in the background looks like he’s wearing wool. SY is in mom’s arms, and opa’s to dad’s left. i wonder what that thing SY is holding in her hand

is this climbable? 2018 banff. tunnel mountain
dad. we’re in the lobby of the Hyatt in calgary. I swear somebody’s trying to get me to sue them! fiddled with the chair leg so it came off just as i was going to sit on it. damn them! they’re going to have to wait their turn! 🤦🏻♀️


the adirondack chairs where i like to sit, downtown Calgary, 2018. the skies are always beautiful here

katie and i read this book a hundred times

Pearl Buck, hugging one of her orphans. Went to visit her ? writing festival in Virginia 2009. saw her archives. she hoarded fabrics, like i do.

love this book by her. mine was the bilingual dition, korean and english. tore the pages out to study/edit it.

katie, with guinea pigs Caramel, and Zigzag, 2017. they had a bumpy ride to Toronto on the plane, but lived to tell the tale.. confession – smuggled them in to the Lodges at Canmore n kept them in the bathtub. :)

Jesse Ketchum School, where K went to Junior Kindergarten. there”s a lot of JK s i say…junior kindergarten, jesse ketchum, jessica and katie, jewish korean alliance, bc my best friend’s jewish. I was happy because i could walk katie to school from mcMurrich where we lived. on the way home we can stop at the architect’s and look at the carp in the pond there. they are nice and don’t mind

kind of obsessed with this fairy tale when i was little, more than i was with snow white and the seven dwarves, or sleeping beauty.

thereks a cottage in it, with teo rose bushes growing one on each side of the door. i’m snow white and you’re rose red, i tell my sister, or the other way around

below is a video of a ‘kut’ or shamanic ritual. I used to be afraid of this when i was little, because mom was afraid of it. she said it was about demons, or bad spirits. but mom was raised christian, and later, i realize the christianmissionaries talked bad about the native religion. i think the drums and clanging are relaxing in a strange kind of way
i’m interested in knots. dad was really good at tying them. nobody could figure out how to undo them. i think it’s because he was raised by the sea, near Haeju and fishermen are really expert at knots

book written by my professor of russian history at mcgill u.

some of the books i’ve collected over the years, when i had an office in calgary. the red books – there is a short piece i wrote about immigrant experience in canada. someone actually read part of it out loud on cbc radio one time. also contains a really terrible picture of me at 20 forehead covered with pimples and coke bottle lenses. dad took that picture of me. i think he was really proud.

Mom, during her stay at the foothills hospital, after she’d been diagnosed with dementia. she likes mango sorbet, and doing her nails. i’m kind of proud of her – she still insists on wearing her own clothes and not the hospital gown

Richard, shortly after we got married. we are on a cruise in the caribbean. i don’t know who that woman was though! :)

katie made me this rose. i still have it. christmas, 2018. I’m a ‘pot refugee’ :)

baby christopher. he was so cute!

me, at lake louise. taking a break from articles? not sure what year this was. maybe when i was working at kotra

for some reason this reminds me of kermit the frog, also richard.

me, travelling in Thailand, Chiang Mai, 2000.

our wedding, september 1990.

me with baby Eric. KW, ON i think its 1995 or so.

Dad, with baby Christopher, who is doing his best ‘Omen’ impression. devilish cute.

K and Michael.

me, shortly before the wedding? i think we’re visiting the best man i. Kanata

bought this at the British Museum 2017

“one ring to rule them all”. I can’t really remember my state of mind when i posted this on twitter, but i think I was indulging in a bit of myth-making. Trump CBC. p.s. it was not an engagement ring.
