Year-end thoughts

Been away for a couple of weeks -- twelve days actually, like in the Christmas song. Will be posting some pictures of our trip to Hong Kong and Macau, within the next week or so, after all the year-end hullaballoo is behind us. Grateful for the wonderful hospitality of friends, for the absence of rain except for the last day, for not catching any bugs on this trip (though I could sense that they were hovering close just waiting to breach our defense systems), and even for the additional security checks that assured a safe flight and return.

Hong Kong International Airport has a lot to commend it in the many choices of dining available, from burgers to Chiu Chow noodle soup.

Looking forward to tomorrow and a big New Year's Eve party with agreeable companions.
