buzz
i've got just a couple of days left at the office. tomorrow night we are taking some people out on the junk to lamma island to get some seafood. it should be fun and a good mix of people. we also have a farewell lunch with the group at yung kee, which carries its own fame (or infamy) and is yet another hong kong place i have not yet been to.
chris arrived today, a forerunner to his family, and is looking forward to getting settled here. think good thoughts for his search.
on the way home in the evening, we usually walk by an old man who sits on the corner in an old office chair alone as often as with friends. rain or no, he is faithful to his corner. we have sign language conversations where he indicates that i am going up to the apt to eat dinner. sometimes he tells me that alicia has already arrived. other times we marvel at the pouring rain (during which one particularly heavy downpour he sported a plastic bag on his head). he is a funny guy and it seems funny that we can have so many mini conversations without saying a word.
