Welcome

This site is mainly intended for friends and family. I've never been a good writer of letters, so please consider any postings here as letters to you all.

If you've stumbled across this page by accident, then you're more than welcome to visit. Just don't expect much brilliant insight, pithy commentary, or perfect use of the Queen's English.

Here's what you can expect: Theresa and I will post about whatever we find interesting or worth writing about. If you've suffered through our previous attempt at blogging-while-living-abroad then you know what to expect. If you haven't..,...well good luck to you.

Here's what you should NOT expect:

1. Stuff related to my job: True, it is the job that brings us to Suzhou. But I'm going to try to keep a bright white line of separation between the personal and professional. That's less a matter of ethics, and more a matter of self-preservation. It's not a good career move to talk about one's job online.
2. Much stuff related to politics or religion: We happen to be guests in China. It's not polite to talk about politics or religion when you are a guest. I do not want to inadvertently write something that offends.
3. Open comments: If you're a blog-o-phile who loves to communicate by posting and reading blog comments....then I'm sorry. I've turned off comment functionality for now. If you are a friend or family member then you already know how to reach us by e-mail (or you know someone you can ask to find out how to reach us). Perhaps, in time, I will enable comments. But for now, I don't have the time to moderate them

I hope that this site provides you with more moments of enjoyment than moments of boredom. In the end, it is sent love and best wishes to you all.
