Hong Kong Fooey
Once again Amy has a few days off. Once again we’re splitting town. This time to Hong Kong and then to Macao. Should be fun, if exhausting.

Music Review: Kate Rusby - Awkward Annie
About once a year or so my wife’s extended family gets together in Nashville, TN for a singing (or a sangin’ as they say in those parts.) We gather in one living room or another, pass about the old church hymnals and sing. We sing old spirituals. We sing new songs that look difficult and […]

Kate Rusby - “Who Will Sing Me Lullabies?” and “My Young Man”
I’m sorry I’ve been negligent this week. To make up for it I’ve found a couple of heartbreaking videos on Youtube. I recently obtained the new Kate Rusby album, Awkward Annie which is just gorgeous. From that I decided to look her up on the tube and found these two performances. […]

The Shanghai Diaries - The Madness of Crowds
My wife and I have decided to move back to the States for good in July. There are many reasons for this decision ranging from my lack of real career options to my wife’s need to be somewhere where she’ll actually finish her dissertation. It was a hard decision in some ways, but I must […]

The Shanghai Diaries - Field Trips
It has been five weeks since my last diary. Five. Freaking. Weeks. When I started this column my intentions were to write a post every week. That rarely ever happened but I was knocking out about 3 a month. Yet here I am with more than a month between now and my last word on […]
