Cool weather has finally arrived in Hong Kong. Friday night saw a "cold" front move into the region and temperatures have drastically changed. Saturday and Sunday were absolutely wonderful days...I would have to say they were perhaps the nicest days we have yet to have in Hong Kong. Almost no pollution could be seen in the skies...perhaps the election of President-elect Obama has indeed changed the world. I am kidding of course.
Randi and I had a great weekend...a busy weekend. My management was in town from the states and we had a "junk" trip on Saturday night. It was a beautiful night for a cruise on Victoria Harbor and the food was as tasty as always...courtesy of Jaspa's Junk. Sunday we spent the day outside with Henry enjoying the beautiful weather, pizza with friends (and other dogs) at Pizza Express, and then dinner with Erlynn and her husband (who is visiting before he returns to Manila).
It was a great weekend. Monday saw more beautiful weather...I am currently watching the sun set out of our office window over a shimmering (but still polluted) South China Sea and cool temperatures in the 70's. Randi's management is in town this week and she will be busy with work.
We are approaching the end of my contract and that means only 110 days left before we tentatively leave Hong Kong. It will be sad to leave but, as with all things in life...usually the best is around the corner. I just tell Randi only God knows what is planned for our next journey in life and all we can do is move forward with faith. I have figured out that in the last 6 years...over 3 years have been spent outside of the United States...who would have thought?
It will be an interesting week in the news...I am sure we will see more from President-elect Obama and his choices or ideas for his cabinet, etc. I am sure his world view changed Friday afternoon after his first Presidential security briefing...I am sure the reality of being responsible for the safety of 300,000,000 people hit home. In a world full of threats...securing freedom, protecting the citizens of our great country, promoting democracy, and ensuring capitalism continues to reign is a lot harder than just making a great speech and sounding "Presidential". I along with millions of people around the world pray that President-elect Obama makes sound, careful, and considerate decisions over the next two months.
