I have not been to the Borders for a few months. This evening when I visited the Borders at Creve Coeur, I was glad to see, Gene Operle, a local musician, was getting ready to perform. I remembered I listened to his Country songs a year ago, also at Borders (can not remember whether it was at Sunset Hills or Creve Coeur). When I heard the “Rhythm of the rain”, “Sometimes we touch”, and “Rockie Mountain High”, all the familar songs I used to listen in college, I felt like seeing old friends again. Gene is going to perform on May 13 at Sunset Hills, I will try to be there and enjoy it again.

Here is a map of the Borders store.

There are other public (free) performance at Borders. I attended Mark Biehl’s musical performance last year and it was also good.

Haigui MBA

MBA is a hot topic for many overseas Chinese students and professionals: for the money or the dream. I have thought about doing this from time to time, but I am still at ground zero due to reasons such as: lack of the money and time; not sure about the purpose of the MBA; don’t want to follow the crowd; etc.

I read the following article from a well known overseas Chinese web site. And thought it is a good one. Maybe some day I will go for a MBA if I could find a compelling reason to do so. Here is the link of the article. Note I don’t necessarily agree everything the author says.
