My sister and brother-in-law left for China yesterday. They will be gone for 2 years teaching English in Bejing. I will miss them. For as much as I love the communication explosion that is the internet, I prefer the face to face. The webcam will help, but the table is my first choice.

However, I am looking forward to the “Bejing Report,” a segment on Blue Dog Banter that will feature the wild anticts of Gretchen and Chris in the capital of the world’s largest country. Look for it in late August.

You may now reach me at www.igaff.com. That is all.
