Christa brought me a shirt back from America. (You know it’s a bad state of affairs when I’m blogging about clothes…) Tell me this isn’t crazy. According to the tag on the shirt and the events that have transpired: The shirt was designed in France. The shirt was made in China. The shirt was acquired…

A few days ago, on our way to see the renowned Terra Cotta Soldiers unearthed just outside of Xian, I noticed this sign in Chinese with English translation: Terra Cotta WorriersNext Exit 1 KM I had to laugh at this misspelling (although I think it was actually "worriars") but then I thought about it.

In lieu of a truly informative trip-summary type post, here’s a photo album depicting some of our latest adventures in Beijing and Xian. We could have taken more pictures, but our memory card was full before the end of our week-long trip. Plus, it was so miserably hot and humid in Beijing and Xian the…

Hi folks. Sorry for the short interruption. We just got back to Xining today. Hallelujah! I was reunited with my ladies (Christa, Anna, Sarah) and the in-laws in Beijing. We saw many of the sights and then hopped a plane to Xian where we saw more sights. (More news on that at 11…) Warning: Self-promotion…

Today was a day of rest. I tried not to think about blog topics at all (I kept telling myself, "No funny anecdotes, no colorful insights into culture, no Seinfeld-like ‘what’s-that-all-about’ type questions…") …and then right at the end of the day I blew it! I thought of these cute pictures and I just had…

It’s 1 o’clock in the morning and I can’t fall asleep! My mom was hinting at the fact that I’m coming more unglued (actually she didn’t hint at all; I think the words she used were "stark raving mad") the longer I am away from my wife. Not really sure why I can’t sleep tonight. …

You know how I was telling you that I have ways to track visits to the yeti-speak… Well, sometimes intriguing information is gathered this way as I’m sifting through this often telling "reader data". I recently got a hit from a person living (or searching online) from Madras, India. Strange. My first question is always…
