Hi all.  Pardon me, but just some good personal news to share.  I heard from the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and (pending final approvals from the Chinese Ministry of Education) it looks like I am heading to Peking University's School of Government to teach and do research during the 08-09 school year!  We are all very excited at the prospect of living in Beijing for a year!  Time to practice our 儿!  儿儿儿!!!

That is wonderful! You must be very good at what you do, to land a position there. I'd like to wish you and the family a wonderful, unforgettable year in Beijing.

别把中国所谓的”百花齐放, 百家争鸣”当真吧…..!

Thanks for the kind words! I will have to spend a few minutes this evening working on translating those messages sent in Chinese! (I can immediately read pieces of them, but of course that's useless in understanding the meaning!) tvan, you don't want to know the name of my book..."Bureaucracy and Democracy"! azerdocmom, no I didn't know that. 为什么?
