My Nephew



I saw my nephew for the first time when I went home. He is so amazing.  I've talked to him on skype before.  When he saw him for the first time he kept touching my face to make sure I was real.  It was so cute.  Babies are amazing.

My Uncle's Family




Coming home is about family.  It's been great to see my family that knows me so well.  This is my uncle, world traveller himself and a magic musician.  Whatever instrument he touches it's like magic, because he can make the most beautiful sounds, whether it's guitar, banjo, piano, or erhu.  On one of his world tours he met a beautiful Taiwanese girl.  It's quite the romantic tale.

Swing Dancing



When I came back to America one of my goals was to go swing dancing.  I love swing dancing.  It's such great exercise and a great safe social thing to do.  I went with one of my girlfriends from college who likes to swing dance, too.  There was a live band playing Dixieland jazz.  It's so wonderful to be back in America listening to live music and dancing again.  In China people dance at night in the park, too.
