Wishing you and yours the happiest of holidays. We’ll be spending Christmas here in Beijing before taking YJ’s parents down to Sanya for a few days of sun and fun at the beach. See you in 2012.

Back from summer break and looking forward to a new semester…plus tales from the Forbidden City tour touts. It’s hot. It’s smoggy. It’s summer in Beijing. Beijingers might call this “fog” but if so, then I think it was the “fog” which just killed one of my plants. No matter. It’s that time of the year when your correspondent likes to take a little summer vacation. Keep in mind in my line of “work”, vacation is defined more as “time to catch up on and/or try to complete dissertation chapters, overdue writing projects, promised book reviews, and next year’s syllabi.” But one thing I won’t be doing too much between now and the end of August is blogging. I know many, if not both, of my readers, will miss my irregular updates but fear not…I’ll be back on September 10. 
Recently I’ve been thinking about what blogs mean in today’s world of RSS feeds and social media, which leads, inevitably, to a little housekeeping and a slight site redesign. |

What have I been doing since the Bob Dylan concert in April?
Writing. Teaching. Traveling. And having visions of revolutionary wild fowl.
