Korea Times Article

Last week my adviser emailed me and told me that the "Korea Times," an English language newspaper in Korea, were looking for people to help with a series of articles they wanted to publish on An Chunggun (they use the other romanization and spell it An Jung-geun). I emailed them and they asked me to contribue some articles and act as a kind of historical consultant. I received an email Tuesday morning asking me to send an article Tuesday evening! I managed to get it in on time. So now my article, as well as the one I helped with are online.

Journalistic writing is a lot different from academic writing. I made things a little too complex and so it's a bit choppy once it had been edited down to journalistic standards. There will be more articles over the next couple of months so I'll let people know when they are put up.

Some Pictures

David built a tower. I don't know how it was able to stand.
David playing with cars in grandpa's room. One of his favorite activities.
This is a leftover birthday picture. David has a Chuck e Cheese mouth!

Prayers

I have a quick prayer request. My mom has a gall stone which is blocking her bile duct which is causing a significant amount of discomfort. She has a consultation in Indianapolis and they will hopefully be able to schedule the procedure soon. Please be praying for her comfort and that she will be able to get the procedure done soon.

David's birthday

David celebrated his second birthday on July 2nd. We went to Showbiz Pizza's like last time.

Hiatus suspended

Earlier I had posted about going on hiatus but after hearing some feedback (I thought no one actually read this thing!) I've decided to keep it up. However, I plan on updating ever 2-4 weeks rather than every week. Thanks for the interest!

Indefinite Hiatus

I have decided to put this blog on indefinite hiatus. I've enjoyed writing it and I thank all of you who have faithfully read it. However, because I need to concentrate on my dissertation, and since one of the main purposes of writing this blog, so my parents could see their grandson and what we are up to, is no longer operative since we are living together, I've decided I should stop. Furthermore, things will most likely be rather boring around here and so there will not be much to post. If/when I relaunch it I will send out a general email to let people know.

Thanks and God bless!
