58

 I am 58 today.  Two years I’ll be sixty.  That is if I make it.  

I am confident I will.

Christmas Eve Eve at the Mall

 December 23td, my wife Jenny and my son Tony came to pick me up from my Jiangyin apartment and take me to Wuxi.  After dropping off my stuff at Casa K, we drove to the Hen Long Mall in downtown Wuxi.

We didn’t go there to do our Christmas shopping.  We went so I could pick up my iPhone 13 which had been repaired. It had gotten a new battery and logic board.

A further sign that a Covid panic has engulfed the population here is that the nearby convenience store was closed early.

It was decided because of the COVID panic to postpone them to the start of February,

Online Teaching

 I’m doing it from my classroom which is warm and roomy compared to the tiny apartment I am renting. 

The electronic whiteboard you see in the photo is connected to the Internet.
