Posted on January 22, 2010 at 5:08pm 3 Comments

Age brews nostalgia. "Those were the days..." and "Remember when...' sentences rattle from my mouth like a nervous twitch.

Hi Helen,
Thanks for your kind note! I already added you as a friend, so I hope you found that request. I would love to do an exchange about Chinese culture.
