Sicker than Sick

I've spent the last week, wiping runny noses, administering Tylenol, antibiotics, and taking trips to the doctor because my daughter was sick, who then got my girlfriend sick, and the both of them got my son sick. I was the last man standing. The YUL KWON of my very own Cook Island, although his abs are a bit more ripped. 

I was the triage nurse, the Dr., The Mr. Mom for my little ones when they woke in the middle of the night because they couldn't swallow, taking temperatures and running to the 24 hour CVS. My Texas love was amazed that amongst all of the germ infestations and viruses I was still healthy and wasn't slowed by the sudden influx of snotty noses and hoarse voices. 

But then it came like a Mack truck today, suddenly my voice sounded like James Earl Jones. If I could only find my stinking light saber I'd cauterize my throat and the heat would vaporize all of the phlegm. I found my body was heating up and my back was starting to get a bit achy. 

Then it hit me. I was like, hey i know what I'll do. I'll just take my new Korean Red Ginsing and my immunity will be pumped like a Californian governor. My immune system would be fully operational and ready to fire all pistols go. Then I was like - hey how about that! My korean side my mysterious asian culture was kicking in. I mean I had taken plenty of trips down to Chinatown NYC with my buddy Harry to get some of his mystical remedies. But I never thought that I'd be reaching for my very own peoples medicinal goods!

So here I lay sipping Korean Ginseng Tea, With the 100% pure Ginseng, lemon, and honey with some warm water to soothe my throat. I started to really become interested in the Ginseng when I was riding in a tour bus this summer on my first trip back to Korea. There was this kick ass tour guide and he was like. If you want to bring something back from Korea that is special to Korea, bring back our ginseng. It will keep you healthy and happy. 

I was like okay, how does it keep you healthy. He said well, it increases your circulation and thus helps your body heal itself. Just take one cup of ginseng tea in the morning each day and you'll never be sick. I was like wow. Really! I'm sold. Now I was of course curious wether or not he owned stock in the manufacturing plant but it seems that was not the case. 

So then I was like, okay how does it keep you happy. He looked at me and smiled a huge smile. I was like, what's the smile for? It was the kind of smile that a man gives another man when first man has just found the holy grail. So he leaned over and whispered in my ear. Do you have a girlfriend? Immediately, it hit me. The lightbulb went on. He didn't even need to say another word. 

So the moral of the story is that in re-discovery of my Korean heritage I learned not only that my motherland is about to become an economic super power and it's banks will soon own most of American Debt sharing ownership with China and Japan, but I also learned how to stay healthy, keep my woman VERY happy. And most of all that you should never under estimate a tour bus guide. 

They are chock full of useful information. 

Until Next time.
