G'day, mates, greetings from Hong Kong!
'twas a busy, busy day, upon arrival from Guangzhou. I thought I erased the blog entry I wanted to make, yesterday. I didn't - thus to those out there who are reading me: scroll backwards and immediately before the brief one you read from yesterday lies a far more verbose entry.
If you want to scroll, it's there.....and if not, no big deal!
Jazz at the FCC last night: a quintet of some exceedingly skilled musicians, veterans of the struggle to sruvive with making music their career.....they were craftsmen. They were damned good.....and I am fortunate enough to have jammed with three of them. While the Australian vocalist was good, she did not hold weight with the 5 musicians accompanying her. Yeah, she had a few songs where she held her own but for the two-set concert performance, I'd have preferred ditching the singer and just watching and listening to the 5 in the 'back-up band'.
And today? Katherine and I luxuriated in sleeping in and sleeping late. I took advantage of one of those rare nights where I got up only once and had no problem immediately falling back to sleep.
And today, thus far into the early afternoon? I did walk and exercise my way to the HK side of the Star Ferry Terminal and took away two hot dogs for Katherine and me to eat at home. For the first time I encountered lines at Top Dog. I have mixed emotions about this: on one hand, it is nice to see them 'make it' - they deserve it. On the other hand, I hate waiting on lines!!
