Visitors.
In another belated piece of news, I want to mention that Bartender J, Day and Little J came to visit a couple weeks ago. They came accompanying the Rocky Mountain Ballet Theater, who were touring China, so that J could write articles about it for his local newspaper. Actually, it was really exciting because I have barely had any old friends come here because of the cost and distance. It was great to meet up with them, or I should say to meet two of them for the first time. I totally forgot I had never met Day before because I had seen her on ROX, so I felt like I knew her. I think I launched into talking about various stuff with her forgetting that she had never met me before. Little J was cute, but a bit cranky because he had an eye infection. Chinese people were going crazy over him through the whole trip, as well as telling J and Day to make sure he wore more clothes. Bartender J was doing very well, considering that he had gotten a call from his mother earlier in the day saying his father had passed away. His dad had suffered from stomach cancer for some time, and had taken a serious turn for the worse after J had come to China. We used the trip to Jade Buddha Temple as an opportunity to burn $1,000 in ghost money for J’s dad, who he said would be glad to get poker money in heaven.
