From Whiskers to Jingle Jangles we drove, that be my son and I. 

 Tony was mad at me.  Why? Story not worth repeating.  Suffice to say, he is in a petulant teenager phase.  I made a sound argument against him, and I knew I had won, when my riposte quieted him for a minute, and he made a lame comeback which was what he had spend the silent time trying to come up with.

Today is the second last day of my being in my fifties.

I will get a worthwhile birthday  present on December 24th: I will go to Mass in the evening.  I realize I should be grateful that my birthday is eclipsed by the birth of Christ.  I have a proper idea of how significant my birthday is:  not at all except to God and my Mom.

Earlier, I went for lunch with my wife.  Tony was mad at me so he didn’t come.

I’ll listen to podcasts.

 We went to Sam’s Club.  There was a lineup of cars to just get to the place.  But it was all right.  One had to be patient and not get annoyed by the impatient iceholes cutting into the lineup and everything turned out alright.

The highlight purchase was donuts:

 The Blogger who is responsible for the greatest China Exoat Blog of World History — that be Moi, yours truthfully — is submitting this entry from the Wuxi, China apartment.

Looks like we’ll be going to Sam’s Club this afternoon.

Thanks to accelerated depreciation, it turns out I turned sixty on June 11, 2021 and this upcoming December 24th is not my birthday at all. My 64th birthday will be on March 15, 2025.  I turned 63 on April 6, 2024.

 Sun in the Saturday Morning Sky!  Nice!

Still trying to piece together what happened last night.

Here are some more photos.

Any who, I’m waiting for my son to wake up so we can drive to Wuxi.

Here is a photo of the loot I got last night.

700,000 Views for the Best Ever China Expat Blog

 1964 views yesterday put me over 700,000 all time AKIC blog views.

I maintain that the Andis Kaulins in China blog is the greatest blog of an Expat living in China!

 Sun rising from behind the nearby building view:  nice!

My darling wife bought my son Tony & I Tim Tams.

Maybe I make a video of myself doing the Tim Tam Slam!

Here is a photo taken last night;

Here are photos taken earlier:

Should I have been smiling?

Any who, we, that be my son Tony & I, will go to Wuxi sometime today.

 It was a wild and crazy last evening and last night for me, by my standards, if you can catch my drift.  There were fun moments and dejected moments. I stayed out too late. I drank too much.  I smoked,  I was overly friendly.  I was overly cold. I should have stayed home.  I was cheap.  People annoyed me.  I annoyed them.  I received more than I gave.  I deserve to suffer this morning.

 I’m not going to WJ tonight. It being Friday.  I may not go there tomorrow.  

Tonight, I got two dinners taking place simultaneously to go to.  One for the school and then one for the Jiangyin Friendship Group.  I’ll report how that works out.

I’ll leave the apartment at 5:05 PM to get to the school dinner.
