A great beginning of a week

Another great day for Grant. The first book fair of the year at Chadwick began today. This would be one of the many projects I work on around here. I'm sure we will be back many times throughout the week since Grant has been craving new books.

Grant is in Heaven

After a little road trip to the east coast this weekend with our good friends John, Jessica, and baby Finn, we ventured to Waterpia. Grant was excited to try out this large indoor/outdoor water park and all it's amenities.

This is Sokcho Beach on the northern east coast of S. Korea.





Grant has found nirvana! Waterpia contained slides, wave pools, fountains, spas (okay, that part was for Kelly), a lazy river, and so much more. He loved it!

Another new place

We have made it to Sokcho today. Three hour drive across the country to the east coast. Here we are on the Sea of Japan. The first real surf we have seen. And blue water.

Grant is famous

 Grant's hair has apparently attracted some attention.  His photograph has been in the Korean Times, a Chadwick International brochure, and the Lemon Tree magazine which is a family magazine.

Lantern Festival

Words can't describe what these look like in person but they are all paper lanterns.

Gyeongbokgung Palace

While the girls went shopping John Grant Finn and I went to visit Gyeongbokgung Palace. Pretty cool place.


Real question is who is more handsome. The boys, or the rock?

A Job

I gave myself until November 1st to get a job and I just barely made it. As of Oct 31st I have been contracted by Chadwick International as a "School Safety Consultant".
A couple of months ago I redesigned the previous fire evacuation plan. Not to talk harshly about anyone but you know me, it was shit !! No real routes that had been researched, zero staff training and no plan. 40 hours of work and I had the kids dialed in. During our first drill I had everyone out of the building in under four minutes. So now I am following up with the needed additions and creating plans for the middle and high school facility.
I've all been sucked into some of the risk management work that hasn't been done.
Needless to say no more laying around on the couch with Watson and eating kimchi.
I'll be working on contract from school break to school break. In order to work as a consultant I had to change my visa status back to a regular tourist so I can only stay 90 days at a shot. We went to Japan for our anniversary and Singapore & the Philippines here we come for Christmas.
