Traveling Crackpots' Posting Spotty

A short but fascinating trip to Xi'an, a city steeped in fascinating Chinese history just past and an upcoming short trip back to the states from Beijing will prevent more frequent posting to Crackpot Chronicles until almost the second week in June. We are going to New York to attend and celebrate the joyous occasion my son's wedding. I've enjoyed your readership and marvelled at the international scope of Crackpot Chronicles. It really is a global village and I send my regards to the community of readers far and wide who stop by here from time to time.
