Sometimes it’s better not to tell you what happened.

But here’s a card.

Update 2021 (10 yrs later)- I knew almost everyone in my apartment complex. I would wake up in the morning and walk out to the balcony, and people would say “Good morning, John” from left and right. Sometimes I would take a nap with the front door open… and my neighbor’s kid would wake me up. I knew all my neighbors’ pets. At that time, I knew I was living in a magical moment. I tried to soak in as much as I could. I had so much fun when I was poor.

Happy Fathers Day.

I am still fascinated by scented candles, and how they affect people’s lives. Good candles will make hot Summer days feel like a vacation. Candles will make you feel cozy on rainy days. It’s a magical ritual. Candles can be fun, sexy, and relaxing.

I want to know more about the art and science behind good scented candles. I want to find out how I can spend the least amount of money and get the best candles this world can offer.

I plan to purchase several candles soon. I hope I don’t go crazy (oh boy).

It didn’t take long to realize that Yankee Candle is not the best (still pretty good).

I went through eyeglass & silk tie obsessions. I am now obsessed with scented candles. And it’s only the beginning.

There will be more stories and pictures about scented candles… coming up.

PS. Just a reminder. I am a straight man. But I wouldn’t blame you if you think otherwise.

Update 2021 – I currently have 40-50 scented candles on display, mostly Yankee.

It was Saturday morning, the day before Mothers Day. My parents had a busy schedule. So, I had to drop by at their place early in the morning.

It was a pleasant driving. 

I tried to put a little Costco twist in this video. 🙂

Driving to Mother’s House – Saturday Morning

My mother put all flowers in the vase. The next day she found time to cut them and arrange (she said).
