Home

This morning i was enjoying my customary baguette and coffee, when suddenly I heard Willie Nelson singing "They all Went to Mexico" on the stereo. And for the first time in five months, i was intensely homesick for America. It's amazing how only half a bar of any Willie Nelson song can speak so directly to one's soul.

It's not enough to make me hop a plane home though. Gotta get my ass to China on Sunday. Like another great southern songwriter said-

These ain't my clothes I'm wearing,
and this old road goes on forever.
