Remember that part in Forrest Gump where Forrest took off on a run and just ran and ran and ran? And then after inspiring thousands and growing a very bad beard, one day he just… stopped? Of course you do. Okay, so let’s just imagine way back in 2005 I sat down at my desk [...]
So you might have noticed that I’ve taken some time off. Let’s just say that I’ve been out on a “snow day.” Never mind that it has been a miserably hot summer in Beijing. Perhaps we can just refer to the past couple of months as my heat stroke period, the way Picasso had a [...]
Faith restored, blogging to resume! After a month of nearly nonstop anxiety and stress the verdict is in! And it’s a YES! Thanks for hanging in there with me. Tales of expat life in Beijing coming soon!
I really feel like someone pushed a giant, red pause button on our lives last month. Please, US Consulate, if it’s not too much to ask, could you press PLAY already!? Still waiting.

I like that I got a month and a half reprieve from non-lunar calendar New Year Resolutions, since my number one top resolution is, as always, to stop procrastinating so much. A month and a half of procrastinating before [...]
In a good way, that is. I’ve just began an online creativity course, because sometimes it is hard to be creative in a gray little city still holding on to winter. The course is called Unravelling and I suspect it is about a lot more than just creativity. “The Unravelling process is a new way [...]
Sorry folks, not much to blog about. It rained all weekend and I got a haircut, which depending on your definition, may or might not be a mullet. It’s not exactly what I wanted (who wants a mullet?) but I am going to live with it for a while. Although I’m not sure I want [...]
Never happened before, never gonna happen again. What a bummer. Will be in Vancouver now possibly tomorrow or Monday. Lots of flights changed… More later…
