Schrodinger

Chengdu, Sichuan 成都市， 四川省

I'd like you to meet Schrodinger. I had the privilege of cat-sitting for about four months and wouldn't have chosen any other cat but him. He is soft, beautiful, fun, and affectionate. Consequently, I took a million billion trillion videos and photos and uploaded them all to this webpage. The first thousand are seen below.

Just kidding. But I now understand why pet-owners take so many photos. I'll only share four photos of my happy, wonderful cat.

Alright, that's it. No more cat photos. Thanks for allowing me this indulgence. 

Softball time! I got hooked up with a group that got some baseball going and we would play as often as our jobs would allow. One expat got to know a local team so the foreigners often scrimmaged his squad. We would alternate between baseball and softball. It was a great group and we had a ton of fun. One game I was called in to pitch and I did my best Tim Lincecum impression with a stat line of 1IP 0 H 0 R 1 BB 3 K. Crushed it with the rising fastball.

At the yard taking hacks. It was a pretty cool spot to play.

Some dude with a real camera came by and took a bunch of photos. Kudos, dude.

 I remember this at bat. It was a weak ground ball to 2nd, but I'll be damned I didn't hustle my way down the line.

Bottom row, middle with no sunglasses is our coach, and my buddy Woody (San Antonio native) to my right.

I was hired to MC a speaking competition for some grade school kids and got a kick out of their first question (projection on the right).

My majestic bike sitting in front of a dumpling restaurant that failed within 3 weeks. The Chinese economic system allows for almost anyone to start a business at little cost and with little bureaucratic red tape. Because it is so easy to give it a try, many unprepared people start small businesses at low risk. The people were nice though. The restaurant to the right is the Uygher spot Paul, Tim, Matt and I patronized when they came through to visit. It is a fixture.

In a residential building elevator. Hahaha oh shameless cosmetic companies. To hell with subtlety.
