Ah, Hong Kong weather at this time of year!!!

It is cool in the morning.  Brisque outside, actually.  Debatable whether or not to wear a jacket over the shirt sleeved shirt (with a t shirt, too - it ain't summer).  But the logic of that tingle in the air (not really chilled) going from my apartment to the FCC makes sense when I eventually leave the FCC and the weather outside has warmed to the point where a jacket would have been an inconvenience.

It is writing and thinking time.  Writing, because when away from China, I want to do this blog and what better way to do it than to make it part of my initial, daily routine?  Thinking because I am keynote speaker at a prestigious, international tax conference, mid-December, in Xiamen.  Keynote, in this case, is banquet speaker where, unlike everyone else who has been allocated 20 minutes to speak (yeah, it is an academic conference), I am a 40 minute tax entertainer.  And entertaining is what I fully intend to be!!  I will entertainingly get my message across about property tax to some of the most prominent researchers the State Administration has - my attempt at stand up tax comedy, again, in China!!

There are some clouds in the sky, today.  Yesterday there were none and the brilliant blue was wondrous.

O.K.   that's enough blogging for one day - time to read some newspapers!!!
