The plan this afternoon is to do my class and drive to Wuxi to help my wife with moving.  As soon as whatever she wants me to do is done, I’ll drive back to JJ, crossing my fingers that I’ll find a place to park.

This morning, I did my prayers.  I have a lot of time on my hands.  The need to do something about going to Canada is not yet urgent.

I read a useful essay about modern poetry by Milosz.  I’ll need to reread to truly absorb what it had to say.  What I did understand was how modern poetry is description, and how it is subject over object.  The latter because the poet now is an outsider and is even expected to play that role.  This is because of the decline of religion as part of people’s lives.

I was able to get registered on the work permit app.  It finally recognized my face.  I don’t have to shave off my beard!
