Apropos of Nothing, or an Easter reflection


The day my grandfather died I was in China with some friends. It was Chinese New Year. Some of my friends went out to see a parade and some stayed back with me and said nice things. Then we went for a walk and brought along the football. We stopped to toss it around in a park and within a few minutes 500 people gathered around to watch the Americans at sport. It was overwhelming to be the center of attention with a tear-streaked face.

  3. it really is fairytale-ish, with the arch in the back and the way the sun hits, and other things like the people I guess.

    Almost everyone in China is Chinese.
