On our way to Kowloon (a short ferry ride from Hong Kong island), where we hit the Hong Kong Museum of Art and “got tipsy” at the historic Peninsula Hotel.
Ahem, you can dispose of your unwanted materials at this receptacle near the Hong Kong Museum of Art. Speaking of, there’s a fascinating exhibit about the Brits’ rocky affair with HK at the museum now. My personal favorite was the phrase book designed for...
The Market at Stanley Beach where you can buy every cheap piece of crap ever made here (and a few gorgeous things too). Also, some photos of the cheeriest beach temple (Buddhist) EVER on Repulse Beach, where I can just imagine a group of drunk colonists saying ever so...
T’ain’t nothin’ repulsive about Repulse Beach. On a balmy Sunday afternoon and only minutes away from the center of town (where upwards of 7 million people live), the beaches are strangely quiet and empty.
Deirdre Timmons
An accomplished writer and filmmaker, Deirdre Timmons is a native Northwesterner who leads a busy life between working and spending time with her family. In the spring of 2013, Deirdre was caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s in addition to her normal routine. So when she began feeling tired and forgetful, she chalked it up to her busy schedule, age, and possible early symptoms of Alzheimer’s. It wasn’t long after that she began experiencing regular dizziness, lack of concentration, unexplained weight loss, and extensive bruising. This combination of symptoms seemed odd, so Deirdre sought the advice of her doctor and subsequently began physical therapy for dizziness. When the symptoms worsened, she pursued further investigation.
After MRIs, x-rays, blood tests, a CAT scan, and a brain biopsy, her brain surgeon diagnosed Deirdre with a malignant medulloblastoma brain tumor. Her prognosis: one month to live. That was five years ago.
