This is my dad. He's a really smart, funny likeable guy and is one of the few people in this world that I really respect (even though he *is* incredibly stubborn)...ha!

This picture was taken back in '97 on the Great Wall. That was an awesome trip...we went with my cousins, Benny (who just recently got married to the lovely Linda) and Juli. In the process of covering Jinan, Tsingdao, Beijing, and Hong Kong, I gained somewhere between 5 and 7 pounds from all the good Chinese food. (When in China, do as the Chinese do--eat!)
