So let’s recap:

.: My precious apartment (this apartment in fact) burned not to the ground, but somewhere slightly above it. There was much rejoicing.
.: I am leaving for China tomorrow.
.: For a month.
.: With no place to live when I get back, and no insurance money waiting for me. Both of these are what I call The Open Issues.

Despite all of the pressures at home, I am stoked that I’m going to be in China… tomorrow! [editor’s note: given the time differences and flight time, I won’t be there tomorrow now that I think about it. I’ll be there Monday morning.]

Which reminds me: should you be in or around Hong Kong during the next 3 weeks, drop me a line.
