Denny inspired me to find this one. How could any cynic not love it?

The cynic in me says that Steve will bring home some more Korean stuff from his trip, but the kitschier it is, the better I will like it.

Forget Korean chocolate. I don't like chocolate, no matter what the country of origin is. I don't think Koreans are famous for black licorice or white chocolate.

The rice wine he brought back last Fall is still there. The bottle is artwork, as are the accompanying tiny cups used to drink it. Those may eventually go into my hutch as objets d'art.

But I loved that little lacquered temple god carving that he brought back for me. It was inexpensive, and spooky looking, with the bug eyes.

Can you tell that my taste runs slightly on the kitschy side?

Who knows what the Koreans will send him home with, but dammit, I intend to spend Memorial Weekend with him at The Sagamore, at Lake George.
