What a great day we had today! You gotta love it when you feel like you are on vacation all morning and then send your kids off to school in the afternoon. Today was by far the most gorgeous day I have ever seen in Hong Kong. Blue skies, low humidity, warm sunshine. What a great day. It's too bad that the weather isn't like that very often...

B was supposed to leave us for a trip tomorrow morning but he got confirmation today that he got bumped. Basically that means he gets the week off and still gets paid for the trip. This is a first for him. It's one of those things that you hear about because it happens. To other people. Having it happen to you is kind of like winning the lottery. So we are stoked about that.

He's been working quite a bit. Since he's newly trained and flying a new (to him) airplane over here, he was required to have so many landings and so many hours within a certain amount of time. So he's got all those requirements met as of last week, he got the bump this week and in June he's on reserve and so he may or may not got to work. It's looking good.

I even bought myself a new book today which is a rare treat. I really need to get going on this whole Asia education I want to give myself. I am also considering starting a book club. I searched a bit for an existing one around here today but couldn't find one. There has to be one though. I need to ask around and search in earnest. I have been wanting to join a book club for a long long time.
