GABROEN: June 2013
http://gabroen.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
ARTISTRY and SCIENCE, seeking BEAUTY and HAPPINESS. Jun 9, 2013. So this time around, on my trip last month to Tokyo and our company's corporate office, I was weary to hear they were hosting another welcome reception 'in the good Japanese tradition' for us visitors. However, this time around the speech was in English, and given by an American. So 3 minutes of high energy sales pitch, with only one traditional piece to it; it again ended with 'CAMPAI'.

ARTISTRY and SCIENCE, seeking BEAUTY and HAPPINESS. Jul 13, 2013. Interestingly, Fort Sheridan was never close to a battlefield, nor to any border. Jul 10, 2013. Most snowfall in one year: 95 feet (Mt Baker, Washington). Heaviest rainfall in one hour: 12 inches (Holt, Missouri), which is about a third of the average annual precipitation in notoriously wet places like London or Amsterdam. Largest hailstone: 8 inch in diameter (Vivian, South Dakota) - imagine getting that on your car. This year's first vis...

ARTISTRY and SCIENCE, seeking BEAUTY and HAPPINESS. Sep 26, 2012. Relief from purple pain. After the bizarre Welcome 2Chicago concert on Monday night by The Symbol, or The Artist Formally Known As The Artist Formally Known As Prince, or Prince in short (maybe the way that he has been messing around with his own name was a sign o' the times; click here. Whose disarming , captivating songs have already earned him a devoted fan base and critical acclaim. His performance went from intimate and subtle lyrics ...

GABROEN: March 2014

ARTISTRY and SCIENCE, seeking BEAUTY and HAPPINESS. Mar 27, 2014. But the tree got me thinking about the relativity of a lifetime, the relativity of how we experience time, and life time experiences. While I am writing this I am actually in flight to Athens, and it's mentally flossing and humbling to realize that this Methusalem is twice as old as the famous Parthenon on the Acropolis. Mar 2, 2014. Spring is in the head. We moved furniture and paintings around, installed better lighting, and traded in Ga...

GABROEN: Spring is in the head
http://gabroen.blogspot.com/2014/03/spring-is-in-head.html
ARTISTRY and SCIENCE, seeking BEAUTY and HAPPINESS. Mar 2, 2014. Spring is in the head. It started to feel somewhat heroic to deal with this weather, although GABROEN must admit that the cabin fever was becoming a little stifling. But rather than joining the growing army of complainers, we did a couple of things to break the mold and lift our spirits. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

ARTISTRY and SCIENCE, seeking BEAUTY and HAPPINESS. Jan 27, 2013. After completing the Big 5 when we saw the male leopard on our 3rd day in Phinda (see the post Safari (2). We had already been amazed to see that it took these giants only 2 seconds to disappear out of sight, not leaving a single trace noticeable to us. But Zac could trace back exactly how and where they had moved, and we got a prime sighting of a group of 9 beauties. Well, I do. And the honey badger? T, then turned around and ran off.

ARTISTRY and SCIENCE, seeking BEAUTY and HAPPINESS. Dec 31, 2012. Voor alle familie en vrienden! Maak iets moois van 2013. Jeroen, Gabriella en Ruba. Dec 30, 2012. So our first sip of safari was a guided tour through Addo Elephant National Park (see yesterday's post South Africa - land of weavers. We were not comforted by the owners of the citrus farm where we were staying in Addo, making remarks like "are you driving that route? Dec 29, 2012. South Africa - Land of Weavers. The birdlife in the park is p...
