Some days my ride to the office is consumed by what I should put on the sign. People often stop and ask me to announce a local event or to honor someone's passing and I am more than happy to post it. Over the years, the sign has evolved into my own form of local social media.

From Chongqing we flew to the Hefei Airport on an early morning flight that took about two hours. Like all of the other airports we went through, the facility was large, modern and efficient. Anna's roommate's Dad met us and we traveled about another 90 minutes by car to the town of [...]

With the exception of our overnight trip to Shijiazhuang, our first week was spent in Beijing. Took a public bus to view Anna's school to visit her campus and dorm. We hired a private guide to take us through the Forbidden City and later a tour of a [...]
