Clocks

-
I added two clocks to this page, one in China (which is all on one time zone) and one for U.S. Mountain Time. But the box is doing weird things on my end. Is it doing weird things for you too? Or does it look okay?  If it's weird to you too, I'll play around with it to fix it. Let me know! 

My birthday party was fun. I made a big pot full of chili in my rice cooker, and we also had cornbread and apple cake and sugar cookies. Around 15-20 people came and we just spent time talking together and eating. My kind of evening.

I'm glad you had a good birthday Becca.

Your clocks look just fine to me. It is nice to see the time difference.

Looks good to me. It's weird to think that it's past lunchtime there on Monday, and I'm heading to bed on Sunday night. Odd.

Thanks guys!

As I told someone the other night, at least you always know the world is okay for another 15 hours. :)

Happy Belated Birthday!! I was actually in SLC on your birthday and my mom said we should call you, but the time was off as usual. Sounds like you had a good one!

Really?!?? AKA, Cultural Mishaps in China, They Will Happen

-
After judging a speech competition all morning at a school that is not my own, I was asked to hand out the second place prizes. They also asked some other teachers, but I missed the details because they only gave them in Chinese and I didn’t understand everything. I was only supposed to hand out 4 of 12 prizes. But the prize girl kept handing me certificates, so I kept handing them out, while the audience laughed at me. I didn’t know what was going on, so I just kept going until someone stopped me. Later, I was interviewed for the school news, on video, and the girl interviewing me asked me this question: Random Girl: “When you made the mistake and everyone was laughing at you, what did you feel inside?” Really, random girl? Really? On camera you ask me this? Really? Two years ago, this would have devastated me. Now, I just have to laugh and say, “Oh well! Such is life in China.” Cultural mistakes will be made. It happens. For the record, I told her I felt that it is maybe go...

This One Time I Thought I Was Really Hot (But It Was Just The HVAC Talking)

-
Back in San Antonio, my friend Stacey had asked me to pick her up from the airport. It was full summer, and for those of you who haven't been in San Antonio in the summertime, you know that expression 'hot as an oven'? Well, I like to say San Antonio summers are 'hot as downwind from an exhaust pipe.' (Which means when you actually are downwind from an exhaust pipe, things get really unpleasant.) It's quite common for there to be a temperature difference of 35-40 degrees between indoor and outdoor air during a San Antonio summer. True story: I had a small heater at my work desk and turned it on in the summer, not winter, because the air conditioning was on so high in our building I froze to death at my desk. So anyway, I go straight from the gym to the airport to pick up Stacey. It's 10 pm but still around 100 degrees outside. Inside, it's a balmy 60 or so. Gotta give those tourists a false sense of comfort! I'm pacing a bit in the baggage area wa...
