I guess I am not a blogger. I am not a blogger because I wanted to write a novel. I spent three hours a day writing a novel and a hundred hours a day clawing at my eyes.

I wrote a novel. If I were to write a blurb for the novel, it would be this: "It's OK."

Sometime I will write it again. Until then I will write sentences that could be no shorter than they are. Possibly I will become a blogger. One who blogs. Possibly I will become obsessed with image and video. I doubt it, but it could happen. The possible images and sounds would all have to do with Taiwan. Then it would all make sense. "Peter and Kyla in Taiwan."

Is Taiwan a hiker's paradise? Some say yes while others are not so sure. And what's the deal with fish balls? How wild are the wild hot springs? These are the questions I'd like to explore, if I ever become a real one who blogs.

Some day. Some day. (picture/video of a sigh)

Wow, we have not done very well as bloggers lately! Sorry to all of you avid followers (or should I say Ali?).

Here's why we've failed you:


1. My mom came to visit for over a week! As you can tell, she likes to party. Wo ai wo mama!

2. Peter has begun a new career as a fashion designer.

3. We've been watching TV.

4.We currently have a huge pot of chili to deal with. Its outrageously good.

What is a page

What is a poem

What is a like

The sky was like a bell jar

What is that

What is a mason jar

What is a flea

What is desk or a glass coffee table

What is a word

And yes

What is a name

Of course you have that one

What is a name

What is a battle

What is a wellspring

What is a hoard and what is a safe

What is it you’re trying to do

What is a sacred artifact

What makes an artifact

What is happening

What is a piano

What is an ox

What a time

What a gift

What a sea

What a blue

What a vast blue bell jar sea

I won 17 Hong Kong Bucks. I am not in Hong Kong. I bought a big beer. Now I am a professional gambler.
