Well, these photos have already been a bit "played out" on the blog circuit, but I thought I would post my own album since my friends, Josh and Jeremy, came all the way to China to take these pictures for/with me. Some of these photos (which are all great!) were not posted on the other…

The yeti is back home in Jianzha and happy to be reunited with his family. Last night in Beijing as he was drifting off to sleep he felt as if his body were swaying up and down on his bed (as if on a giant hammock of turbulence.) The funeral and time in Kentucky went…

My grandma (my last living grandparent) who I knew affectionately as Mamaw is now with Jesus. She passed away yesterday. I was her favorite (only) grandson and I always knew that if I ever needed sanctuary from anything or anyone in the world, I could find it at Mamaw’s. My heart is heavy. I will…

After twenty-four hours on the train I arrived back in Xining with just enough time to get showered up and have a nice Thanksgiving meal with my family and other fellow expats in our community. It was perfect timing. The irony is that my friends, J & J, left for America on a plane a…

Here’s a special little video documentary highlighting "our crib" here in Jianzha. (With apologies to the Brown family for our taking creative ownership of their home.) You’ll notice the stylish hosts, J & J. Might take a few minutes to load, but it’s worth the wait…

Well, my time has been a bit more occupied lately. Two of my good (nay, great!) friends from Seattle, Jer & Josh, arrived in Qinghai on Tuesday. We’ve been painting the town red ever since (so to speak.) Since Jeremy is a photographer by trade I haven’t been that motivated to take any pictures myself,…

My Current Highlights: – The TV series, Heroes. I know I’m a sucker for comic book-related entertainment, but I’m surprised how much I’ve been enjoying this first season. Hiro is awesome. He ties the storyline together and keeps things interesting. – The confused look on my students’ faces as I attempt to teach them English. …

Last night while I was waiting for my coal to get to the desired temperature I practiced my Jedi light-saber techniques under chilly starlight. As I swung the walking stick to and fro, twirling it around my arm, dispelling hypothetical Sith Lords and Orcs with each lethal blow, I had a wave of swash-buckling nostalgia. …
