Countdown

Well, one month from now 'll be on a plane, heading to China. Or maybe sitting in an airport, grumbling about a delayed flight. Or perhaps some unexpected life event will find me nowhere near an airport. But my money's on the airplane scenario. Anyway, here starts the new blog, A Short Letter Home. I had originally thought about calling it A Hamburger Abroad, but that felt a bit presumptuous. I mean, Mark Twain, I'm not. Fortunately I thought of an alternative. The significance of the name, in case your wondering, is that my Chinese name literally means "short letter". So there you go.
