well, it’s 5am, Dec 10th, and it is my usual time to get up. Love to wake up before the sun. And it’s a special day for me because it’s my Birthday!. It has been quite a year…I was visiting San Francisco a year ago. And making preparations to leave CRI end of Feb ‘07. Excellent to be away from there as I can now concentrate on other things I want to do. Life in Beijing is still exciting after being here 10 years. I’ve made some close friends, but never enough! Made a lot of friends thru JOY FM and now I am meeting many of them face to face. Focusing on writing a few books I started a while ago. Colder in Beijing now so I am rollerblading less in the winter, but working out in the gym more. What to do today? I will start with some coffee from Hawaii. I will do some English consulting in the morning, and then see how the day develops. Let’s stay in touch…
