As promised, I am posting a photo album documenting Christa’s time at a Chinese wedding last week. Christa met a gal (Li Juan) at the Qinghai Library (after my speech) who exchanged phone numbers with Christa and wanted to develop a friendship.

This saying (i.e. divide and conquer) is one that I usually apply to times when Christa and I each take one of our daughters and head to our respective corners. We don’t do this because we are fighting. We do this because sometimes a one-to-one ratio works better than a two-to-one OR EVEN a two-to-two. …

You’ll have to let me know if you are able to watch this short video clip?

…to leave comments. I didn’t mean to scare anyone away by switching sites. Maybe you are all just very introspective now that it is May. It may appear as if you need a Typepad username to make comments, but you DON’T! Just go to the Comments, put your name in and your comment (and email…

I had my first dream about donuts last night. In the dream I was at some location (airport, maybe?) here in Xining and I realized that there was a DONUT SHOP located inside. I was excited but frustrated that I didn’t know about the shop sooner. I remember saying in the dream that if I…
