Today is a day for the ages. Nearly 80 degrees and I've ridden my bike to the Center for Wooden Boats, and my first practical sailing lesson in a 20 foot boat. A big challenge for someone who mixes up right (starboard) and left (port/leeward). So I won't be skippering anything in Elliot Bay for some time. But it's fun. I bring a diary with me on days like these, as writing, by hand, on paper, helps me process all the unwanted changes that I presently face. So, how nice to turn to the opening pages of this gift from my Tongling No. 1 student Cherry. In her beautiful Chinese characters she sends me a message that just right, here on Saturday May 9.
I miss you too.
