I considered another philosophical rant this evening. I’ve definitely had plenty of deep thoughts lately. Most of them come to me as I’m flying around the world. I have a mix of time to myself, time to observe people in far away places, time to ‘sharpen the saw’ with others, … Continue reading
Well, now I’ve been to China. But just saying that is confusing. I’ve been to China before, sort of. Hong Kong is now ‘officially’ part of China, and Taiwan is claimed by China. But they’re ‘special’. I count them separately when I think of the countries and territories I’ve been … Continue reading
