Friday night I stood outside on my patio and looked at the sky. The storms had blown away all of the haze and pollution. There was a crescent moon hanging low and more stars than I’ve ever seen in all my years in HK. I was able to forget the things that have been weighing me down for the past couple of days and just admire a beautiful night.

Today the storms were back and this afternoon the thunder was almost deafening. I slept through the afternoon, had no appetite for dinner, watched an absolutely dreadful movie all the way through to the end, and during those times when I allowed myself to hear my thoughts, contemplated a series of unattractive options.

There may be some changes in my life soon. Changes which could result in my leaving Hong Kong and possibly even Asia. I really can’t go into any details about any of this, at least not at this point. Hopefully I have enough time to do something about it, but that’s not guaranteed.

The best laid plans of mice and Spike can often go awry.
