Insight from a sage — The proverb non-sequitur (or fill out your forms correctly)

October 30, 2015 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan Northwest Asian Weekly I am a beacon of wisdom. I am a pillar of intelligence. Go ahead, ask me anything. OK, maybe I’m not all that right at the moment. But, believe me, it’s just around the corner. I’m now 51 years old, and if you are to believe what you see […]

August 14, 2015 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan Northwest Asian Weekly We just came back from a three-week vacation in Italy! You know what I was looking forward to the most? Chinese food. Ok, settle down. Don’t let your calzone collapse—we had pizza and pasta up the wazoo. The last time I was in Italy was 1991. My wife Maya […]

Aiming to be the Clothes Whisperer

May 1, 2015 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Wayne’s Worlds — The Dumpling Complex

April 3, 2015 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan Northwest Asian Weekly “What are you doing?”  I asked of my wife Maya, in a tone mixed between innocence and accusatory. “I’m pan frying some dumplings for the party,” she answered, matter of factly. The “party”, she was referring to, was the bi-weekly neighborhood gathering we affectionately refer to as “Yappy Hour,” […]

The three-headed monster with six arms & six legs

March 6, 2015 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan Northwest Asian Weekly We have a problem. In our home, there’s an incredibly destructive force we’ve been up against for quite a while.  It’s a physical menace, wreaking havoc on anything of value that we hold dear.  We’ve tried our level best to protect ourselves and our belongings, but to no avail.  […]

The rush of rabble rousing

November 21, 2014 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan Northwest Asian Weekly I’ve never been known to be much of a rabble rouser.  I don’t even know where I can find any rabble that needs rousing. You can say a lot of things about me, but “troublemaker” has never been one of them.
