Good show.

As always, it was clear that most of what he said was a pile of shit, but interestingly enough he recommended this site as a constant source of astute insight into a specific subset of the human condition. Unbelievably, he was correct! My wife (Debi) and I spent several hours reading most of your work and I must admit you have quite a knack at making me feel both young and old at the same time, which is hard to do and probably incomprehensible to you anyway. Nevertheless, I'm hooked and will be checking in from time to time to vicariously enjoy your continuing sagas. Keep it flowing. Great stuff.

You got to watch out. And On the Road isn't overrated. Y'all are just thinking to much.

Meg - I'm going to try to write in here more this semester. Really. John - Amazingly, no; I get paid in cash and haven't bothered to get a Chinese bank account, although this will probably change: I'm moving to Beijing in August, and will really need to find some way of saving money by keeping it locked securely (ish) away from myself.

As long as you've been in China, don't you have a normal Chinese bank account? One time the ATM machine deducted the 1000 rmb for my account and then gave me an error message and no money. After a bunch of phone calls and waiting, it all got cleared up though. My China Construction Bank ATM card rarely fails me.
