   It's a very cold and windy day in Taiwan. Next   
   week will probably be in the 80's, but a northerly   
   from Mongolia can turn the island into a fridge.   
   Last week snow fell in Taipei. Jeez. Yu Shan is a   
   12,000 foot mountain, about as far away as I would   
   drive to go skiing in Michigan. Maybe this winter   
   I can sample Japan's slopes. The problem is my   
   wife is would rather do Bali than barreling down a   
   mountain. We accommodate. The human condition.   
      
   My son is doing an operatic baritone (for a four   
   year old). Something learned in school, but he has   
   a good ear. The big question now is to teach him   
   violin or keyboard. Watching seven-year-olds on TV   
   playing Vivaldi induces me to choose the violin. I   
   could accompany him on the piano.   
      
   I sometimes drink powdered green tea, which is   
   very bitter. I have an idea for cherry concentrate   
   cakes (little cakes). Cherries are a delicacy   
   here, and I think the green and red would be a   
   sprirtually healthy combo. I don't want to blow my   
   inheritence on a restaurant venture, but it's in   
   my genes. I would have nothing if my dad didn't   
   put everything on the roulette wheel (so to speak).
