Between March and June of this year, I have: vis­ited the Richard Nixon Pres­i­den­tial Library in Cal­i­for­nia. Toured an elec­tron­ics fac­tory near Shen­zhen, China. Explored the var­ied sights of Hong Kong. Hiked 6 km of the Great Wall of China. Lounged on the beach in Can­cun. Attended some amaz­ing blue­grass Pickin’ Tues­days at the Cantab. Tried my hand at bee­keep­ing (only one sting!). Saw friends and ocean in Sal­is­bury. Watched my very good friends Dave and Mar­tine finally tie the knot in Cincin­nati. And took too many pic­tures to post in a timely fash­ion, so for now, here’s a sample.
