How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Zhang Family Homeland

How did that afternoon of nothing but dreams of China pass so quickly?  More and more convinced of the necessity of the China/Tibet/Nepal plan for this time next year, as you initiate the Plan Pre-40.  The Hallelujah mountains in Zhang look an intriguing sight to combine with the long sought after return to Yangshuo.  With a year's notice, can you find someone, not yet met, to take that journey down the Li River with you?  Wouldn't it be something if you could?

As the summer months conclude pass, the insatiable need for something new is as strong as ever, and growing by each lazy day.  Signs abound.  How about just now, the firm reception with the guy introducing himself as a first year who was an old roommate at 1280.  Memories, haha.  Hope Yang responds to the email from today.  Let's put this plot in motion for real.  Get those wheels spinning, Babu.   This time next year check back on this message on this date, remember the sun out the old office window, the trip to see the Hip documentary and reception afterward, and all that followed. 

And then keep moving ever forward.
