Because it's winds-day, Piglet.

Funny Chinese Sarah Moment. Heather, reading the box of a crib mobile that Nathalie bought for her daughter, who's having a baby in October: "It says made in PRC. I wonder what--" Sarah, automatically: "People's Republic of China."

Un-Funny Chinese Sarah Moment. On Monday night, Marlene asked Sarah what she thought about the "Free Tibet" protests. Cue Sarah exclaiming, "I think our government is right!" and launching into a long, confusing speech about how what China is doing is for the Tibetans' own good and how the Dalai Lama might talk about peace but he's actually very two-faced and violent. Marlene and I just looked at each other and didn't know what to say. (I still don't.)

Today was good in several parts. Grandma's last package of magazines finally arrived, so I have chocolate bars to eat and magazines to read. Heather, Sarah, and I went to the médiathèque, and I found Calvin and Hobbes books in French! I checked out two, It's a Magical World (French title is Le Monde est magique!) and Revenge of the Baby-Sat (French title is Fini de rire). It was hard not to check out all of them. Calvin and Hobbes in French!

Oh yeah, I recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of the day I made my first YouTube video. At that time I had 45 of them, which my calculator tells me is an average of one video every 8.1 days.

White & nerdy is right! Though I'm actually surprised your average video per day isn't higher. If you hadn't gone to France it probably would be. (Probably? Definitely!)

Poor Sarah. I feel bad for her. Who knows what kind of propaganda they feed them in Chinese schools.

Does Chinese Sara drink vinegar because she likes it or because it is healthy for her? I recently saw a book that describes all the health benefits of vinegar. I don't drink it myself but it is a great household cleanser as well as footsoak. Glad you are doing well and yes please post your utube site so I can see your videos. We could use it on a family home evening night. Eva is on vacation from school until Monday. She has been having alot of friends over. My floors are filthy, that brown stuff pollen that falls from the trees are all over the place and is constantly tracked in the house. I am sweep 3 times a day and you still can't walk barefooted in the house. John goes in for a check up today hopefully he'll be able to go to work in a week or so. We are going to visit grandma today. Sara lent me her book "We always lived in the castle", it was very easy to read and written well but it sorta stays with you, I am glad I always read the preface of a book otherwise I may have been alittle confused. All for now, love aunt connie

Dalai Lama just doesn't equal violent to me.

Then again, Jesus wasn't a violent man, but a lot of violence has been perpetrated in his name. Is that perhaps what she's referring to? The violence that's always been a part of Tibet and China's relationship? (Tho, if I recall correctly, it's usually the Chinese that are violent toward the Tibetans...)

Yikes, what a predicament to be in. Good luck!
