I was lucky enough to chat with my friend Tony (whom you may recognize from Tony’s China Blog or some another blog that started with Ompha* that I lost the bookmark to when I upgraded to a newer version of Firefox) online the other day. I like Tony. We used to teach together but then he moved on to bigger and better things, like getting married to Erica, honeymooning in South America, teaching in China, moving to Berkeley, making his own pork products and growing a beard. He’s a good guy. Now he’s applying to medical schools and working as a blogographer. His new blog, Leina’s Life (by Tony), is a semi-authorized biography and a great read.
Here’s the second entry, from the December 2005 archive.
Going South
Today is not completed yet, but for those interested in what Leina might be up to at this moment, I believe she has gone to Mountain View or Redwood City or one of those ridiculously named cities south of San Francisco to visit with/support her friend Miki, whose mom is sick with a tumor and I think she is having brain surgery today. So we all hope that Miki’s mom is okay, and thank Leina for being a supportive friend and spending some time with Miki during a really stressful time.
That is a theme you will notice with this blog. Leina is super supportive and always doing nice things for other people. Even if they don’t deserve it (though Miki definitely deserves it).
And for breakfast she probably had shredded wheat and some melon.
I’ve only read the current entries and those from December, but I think Tony’s really on to something here. Boyfiend thinks he’d make an excellent biographer as well. He may be right, but I don’t know if he’d be able to find a subject as ideal as Leina.
*I just looked back at an email and found that the “Ompha” blog I referred to is Omphaloskepsis. The blog appears to be on hiatus, but Tony did write about making his own scrapple. He sure eats a lot of pork.
