In Phil.
Hi! After spending a while in Indianapolis, I’m back in Philadelphia. I managed to take a jaunt up to Baltimore, and spent an excellent day with Rachel and Benn. We got to go to Ikea, my favorite store in the whole world! I also had an ice cream sundae, my first one for at least a year. It seems my plan not to gain weight has gone by the wayside, but I’m hoping just to put on four or something so it isn’t too hard to take off once I’m back in China. A few more notes — I visited the country’s first penitentary. The audio tour was narrated by Steve Buscemi! As for Philadelphia, I really like it. People seem very polite (which doesn’t explain the murder rate). The only bad thing I can say is that there seem to be a large number of women in ill-fitting bras!

Wow ! You made the day skip to August 4th, or did you set that?

Funny. You’re in Philadelphia now but for some reason, I dreamt last night that I visited China - and that you gave me a tour!

Hey, Mary! Any chance you’ll swing (very) north sometime?

where have you been. No blog for a long time. How are things?

Hi there, everyone!
It skipped to Aug. 4th by itself. Unfortunately, my computer broke (I don’t remember if I mentioned this or not), so I couldn’t write for a while. As it is, I’m at a computer cafe, where it’s not really relaxing to write. I hope to take the computer to be fixed this weekend.
I’m back in China, but Adam, I did get to have dinner with Val Woj. and Mary Lee Huber. I got to hear a bit about Jeny Doud, but she is going to have a baby in like one month and was too tired to come. I’ll write more about it later.
