A cultural shift

Last weekend was a cultural shift of sorts for Randy and me - a week in South Beach. Fun fun fun! The weather was awesome and we got to spend lots of time with friends from all over the country.

This morning on my way to work while listening to NPR I heard a heart warming story of a different kind of culture shift. After the story aired, I couldn't help but wonder how much better the world would be if more people were like the couple featured. In case you don't have time to read/listen to the story it basically centers around a South Korean couple who have been married 40 years. The central part of the piece featured the wife's insistence that her husband vocally express his love and happiness for her instead of taking the usual staid attitude of most South Korean men. Lovely actually.
