Welcome to my blog. I would like it to be a kind of nursery bed, to plant seeds and see what grows.

Oh say, can you see,...
My son, along with the 75 other members of his middle school band, is playing the national anthem before the Giants' game tonight in AT&T Park. A whole bunch of family will be there! The photo is from two years ago, when we went to cheer the band, but tonight is his turn.
That is very very very cool!! My daughter once got to sing the "Star Spangled Banner" with her choir at an A's game, and it was a huge thrill. In fact, it was that game that turned us into baseball fans.
Sadly, I had to temporarily halt my Chinese studies, since I am taking two other classes and didn't want to overdo it. I hope to resume in the future, since I really enjoyed it. I am still looking at characters in signs around town and hope I can pick up a few on my own.
What I'm Reading Right Now:
"The license was registered under my Chinese name, Ho Wei. It was valid for six years, and to protect against counterfeiters, the document featured a hologram of a man standing atop an ancient horse-drawn carriage. The figure was dressed in flowing robes, like portraits of the Daoist philosopher Lao Tzu, with an upraised arm pointing into the distance. Later that year I set out to drive across China." --Peter Hessler, Country Driving: A Journey Through China from Farm to Factory

Have a great time!
haven't downloaded the photos from the camera but I have high hopes for the one I took of "older boy" on the Jumbotron!
