I haven’t mentioned baseball too much this year AND maybe that has proved to be the winning formula for my Seattle Mariners. They are rolling! I am probably jinxing them with this post, but oh well, you have to brag while the bragging is good. The Mariners recently swept the Boston Red Sox in a…

I haven’t had my camera on me lately which is unfortunate. I’ve seen quite a few amusing signs lately. This banner was posted outside of a housing complex near us: Make the world learn about Qinghai, make Qinghai lean about the world. Believe me, the world does NOT want Qinghai leaning on it. I’ve passed…

A week or so ago Christa convinced Sarah to allow her trim her hair a little. After we praised the new dew Anna also wanted a summer cut. (Yesterday Sarah "modified" her own bangs much to Christa’s dismay/shock/disgust. I guess she was going for more of a layered look. Sorry I don’t have a picture…

So, I just finished re-reading Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince in order to get geared up and ready for the final installment coming out in July, Book 7: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. (For my friend, JLo, and those three or four other slackers…

Well, I mentioned in my last post that we would probably have some NEWS to report soon. With much thanks due to many of you who helped us with this decision, it seems like we have been given some CLEAR direction about what to do with our next year here in China (Qinghai). If things…

Sorry I haven’t been writing too much lately. You might have noticed that I’ve been playing around with pictures lately. I’ve been using some software my friend Rick told me about called The Gimp. It’s pretty addictive once you start using it. You must know the only tool I’ve ever used to modify pictures has…
