I was doomed from the moment I used the phrase, "rapid succession." Unfortunately, blogging has taken a backseat as of late, especially since I've been fighting off a bad cold for at least the past week. Seems like they take longer to dissipate in China. Anyway, I'll have all sorts of stuff to write about very soon, but for now, I have to go to Beijing to meet my father and make sure he doesn't get lost in a foreign country. I will also try not to get lost. Back in a few days.
