More than 300 women sang “Happy Birthday” to me in Mandarin this past november when I was in Beijing, China. What a wonderful surprise present! But the song was just the icing on the cake. The bigger gift was the one I asked them to give. I spent ... Read more...
Jolly? Bah humbug! How can I be jolly when I haven't bought the tree yet and I haven't put up a single decoration? I usually have this all done by the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, but this year I arrived home from Beijing, China on the day before Thanksgiving, an ... Read more...
