Fire!!! No wait. It’s my birthday cake.
Author: Robert Sanzalone17 Feb
Well, it’s another birthday. Celebration worthy? Lamentable? Meh. Just another candle in an already candle-crowded birthday cake. Right?
The feeling I have this year is simply – gratitude. I have a wonderful partner who I care for dearly and am proud to have beside me through every adventure around the globe. A fabulous extended family who are supportive and loving far beyond the boundaries of family obligation. And I have friends and colleagues… LOTS OF THEM! All over the world. They reach from Nagoya, Tokyo, Kyoto, Sapporo and Osaka, Japan to Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Seattle, San Francisco, St. Louis, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Milan, Athens, Novosibirsk, Beijing, Hong Kong, Taipei, Manila, Durham, Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, Honolulu and many, many more.
Being a global gypsy has had a price – but it has had far, far more rewards.
I truly look forward to this coming year – and years to come. I feel good about the future and I hope to have the strength and ability to give far more than I ever receive.
Thank YOU for passing by and sharing this brief moment reading this. Cheers and help me blow those candles out!
Pre Olympic Vancouver
Author: Robert Sanzalone8 Feb
As a resident and native of Vancouver Canada, I have a handful of memories which are distinctive to my connection to the city. The Vancouver Whitecaps winning the 1979 NASL Soccer Bowl Championship, Expo 86 and now the 2010 Winter Olympics. Having been out of the country for the past three years, I haven’t had much of a connection with the games any more than any other non-sporting resident of Japan. Yet, as I walked through downtown today, I too felt the excitement and pride felt by the hundreds of volunteers and employees who have worked hard to put together the safest and most enjoyable event worthy of global attendance and attention.
Here are a few of my photographs today as I casually walked through the streets.
The motto for these games is “You Gotta Be Here.” Today I certainly was grateful I was.
Shakin’ It With The Belly Dancer
Author: Robert Sanzalone31 Jan
Everyone had such a great time last night celebrating 4 birthdays which included 2 milestones.
The belly dancer certainly was one of the highlights. Insisted on many family members to step up and have “a little dance” with her.
All good family fun.
