i went to the bund for the first time today with jo and it was completely spontaneous which made it even more exciting. and let me just say: the bund is absolutely beautiful. walking on the platform, trying so desperately to snap a few pictures of the beauty that is within this city so that i would never forget this place, this feeling. going there tonight just made me fall in love with this city even more, with the people, with the sea, with the buildings. everything just breathed there: and just when i thought i'd lose the feeling it gave it all back to me, fistfuls of it.
it's a boring picture but at the same time, it makes it relatively appropriate for me to copy&paste my senior supplement here so:
Dear Shanghai,
To most, you are just a small insignificant city. Yet to me, you are more than that. You are a monolithic tangle of skyscrapers and spires, full of poetic details, varying from shades of grey (mainly in the sky), entwined with windy summers and sunny winters. Within you, there are places that hold special moments in time, suspended within the corner cafes and shopping malls, lingering in the subway and taxi cabs, mingling with the smoggy air of the streets. My favorite memories are cradled within your sprawling human centers. You have given me a place to call home, you have given me friends that I can call my family, and you have strengthened my faith in God. There will be no other city in this world that can offer me as much as you have. To say “thank you” is the very least I can offer you, and yet it is all I can give. It took me 10 years to fall in love with you, but now that I have, it just makes it that much harder to let you go.

At this moment I have a fire humming, a tray with gingerbread tea steeping, little Vashkie snuggled under a blanket at my side, the piano open and inviting from the bay window, the vase of flowers on the fireplace mantel bursting in beautiful large blooms and lovely views of the sun through the trees from all the windows. Sometimes life can be so gracefully peaceful.
Where'd you go..?
I miss you so..
Seems like it's been forever
Since you've been gone..
Please, Come back home......

So the other day I was doing some things around the yard at home and ran across this small scrawled message on a gutter downspout. The first reaction of the father in me was to lecture my daughter on the evils of graffiti and make her clean it up. But, then I couldn’t—the more I thought about it, the more it warmed my heart. As a parent, you try so hard to have a home that allows your kids to feel safe and secure and loved. And you know, that in this world, that’s not something everyone is able to do for one reason or another.
Every now and then it’s nice to get confirmation you might be doing your job right. [grin] I think I’ll let it stay on the downspout…
