In North Korea
September 21st, 2010
This photo is taken in the main meeting room on the border between South and North Korea. We (the film crew) are actually standing a few feet into North Korea. The ROK soldier to our right is a Taekwon-do black belt. He is in the ready position prepared for possible aggression from the North Korean soldiers on the other side of the wall behind him. We were told by the corporal guiding us, “Do not touch him because he will touch you back!” Proof positive of the persistent tension in the DMZ. Our son, (rt) Josh Bashioum and production assistant, (middle) Ryan Bethea are pictured with me.

I grow blueberries in big pots that I bring in for the winter.
Pictured here- they are almost ready for harvest.
But alas, the birds beat me to them!
