No matter if you're called Grandma, or Grandpa, being a grandparent is a magical feeling. I have been blessed with wonderful and healthy grandchildren, who call me GB. Grandpa BoB and I absolutely love them.
They live in California and I in New York, where I work as a college professor and teach approximately 100, 20 year old students each semester. But I often think about what it would be like if I was living closer to my grandkids.
Too many people have been slashed in NYC during separate incidents. These slashing crimes happen all too often when innocent people are randomly slashed and these actions are linked to several similar attacks across the city in the past several months.

DRAGON INN is set during the Ming dynasty. The emperor’s minister of defense is framed by a powerful court eunuch and executed. Soon after, the minister’s children are hunted by a clan of elite assassins known as the Black Arrow Troop. The ensuing chase takes them to the remote Dragon Gate Inn, where mysterious strangers begin to gather and paths—and swords—soon cross. Cinematographer Hua Hui-ying’s (A Touch of Zen) masterful compositions capture tightly choreographed set pieces, each one more splendorous than the last, and Chen Hung-min’s innovative editing makes characters appear to literally fly through the air.
