Awww, thanks, guys.
This is indeed #50, despite all odds...
Should be an interesting weekend.
Most of the weekend is filled with a party at the notorious bar that serves as the current real-time home of the Suzhou Dong Gang. We're getting a 2-for-1 drink special that should keep the drinks a-flowing, and quite a slate of very playful and interesting, well, how can I say this...uh,
extremely NON-traditional Chinese medicines has been assembled.
I've invited a minor galaxy of Saloonies, bar rowdies, students, customers, employers, neighbors, smokin' babes, co-workers, and other China flotsam.
Meanwhile, my massively psychotic ex-wife suddenly showed at the door this morning, Hope in tow, in what will ultimately be an unsuccessful effort to personally implement her agenda of anti-fun, anti-social-life, anti-anyone's-wants-and-needs-except-her-own policies.
I may be crashing on a couch somewhere. The bar has NICE couches.
Anyway, thanks again. If yer around, come on down. Just follow the fire trucks.
