Missin' Chiner

Just so I give credit where credit is due, I did not take this picture.  But I got it today from my friend, Kevin, who's in China, and I just had to share it. 

Not being a super emotional, "sharing"-type person, I don't always (or often) come out and say what's on my mind.  But every once in a while I guess I should let it out, so...I'll just say it: I miss China.  I mean, come on, look at this picture - wouldn't you?  : )

Not that life here doesn't have its own randomness, I guess.  Just yesterday, in fact, I was sitting in the park, minding my own business, reading The Kite Runner, when, all of the sudden, this squirrel comes running over and proceeds to hover just feet away, flicking its tail and squeaking (squawking?  chirping?  what is that sound?) at me, like I did something to offend it.  If only I spoke Squirrel, I might have been able to clear things up.  : )

Anyways, just thought I'd share a glimpse of China and SoCal with ya.  And since we're on the topic of pictures, here's one from Saturday's riveting flag football match (provided by D to the aphne - thanks, by the way).  Although it doesn't look like it, there were other people there, I promise. 

Ok, that's it for now.  I know it isn't Saturday, but, hey, gotta mixed it up every once in a while, right?  Blogging on a Monday?  Talk about living on the edge!  : )

i think KITE RUNNER may have to be the book that i search for at those used books stores in chaing mai this year. you know, the oneish book i look forward to reading once i get to sell off the textbooks to those same used bookstores. thanks for the direction... it's always so overwhelming to look for that special book that gets to go to the beach. =)
