I am writing this on Monday, 9/15. There are no pics this week.

It was a quiet week. We had a neighborhood party Friday. I broke my glasses. My backup glasses don’t work as well. I received the part needed to fix my bicycle. I decided to take the part and my bike to the bike shop. I expect to get it back in working order in a day or so.

The week wasn’t entirely without interest. We booked our China vacation. We will be traveling April 23 – May 13, 2015. I tried to sign up on-line. I found I could sign myself up, and I could sign Danita up, but there was not an obvious way to sign us both up. It felt so wrong to be filling out information about roommate preferences to get the “double booking” price. I ended up calling them this morning. Sometimes it pays to use the phone. There is more flexibility in travel than the internet site indicated. Now we have to finalize flights, apply for our visas, etc. Trip details will be worked out over the next several weeks. Now that I’m paying more attention about news from China, I realized that China is blocking access to Google. I suppose that means that only Danita will have the ability to read her Email, should we be so fortunate as to have internet access. This might be quite an adventure.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
