Also enjoyed the storm photos, and that one big boofy cloud with the slanting sun ray going through it. Very nice! <BR/><BR/>I chuckled over how your threw the "mutant lemon" in the middle of the mix....I laughed out loud. You are such a character. It's like one of those sci-fi movies where the guy has a whole other little body that pops out of his side or stomach but is part of him....well, I guess you had to be there.

Midnight for you in Beijing is about lunchtime for me! <BR/><BR/>I've always thought it would be fun to check out the Olympics live and in person! Wish I was there to enjoy your surplus. Sure you get some good bits on TV, but I imagine it must be quite something to actually be there. (<I>Of course, being there means you miss out on the lane graphics and the overhead shots...so I would have less of a clue about what was going on, but still...</I>)<BR/><BR/>Glad you enjoy the tunes.

I'm happy to know you enjoy it! : )Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337889899066280559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12541532.post-19491653433239982102008-08-20T13:32:00.000-04:002008-08-20T13:32:00.000-04:00Your blog is so appropriately named as it is after...Your blog is so appropriately named as it is after the midnight hour that I come here to feast my eyes and sooth my soul. Tonight I arrive late and so touched to hear the Les Miz duet and the always haunting Superman song. You have great taste in midnight music!<BR/><BR/>Its weird to be working here in Beijing for the Olympics and watch your enthusiasm there for it. Oh how I wish you were here -- I end up with extra tickets everyday for many of the sessions. Tonight I could have sent you to Athletics. Last night your choice of Brazil vs. Argentina football or more Athletics or Beach Volleyball, Brazil vs. USA. Admittedly, the games are made for TV and you get to see much more but it is fun, for about fifteen minutes, to be in the thick of things. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for cultivating such a beautiful place.TR Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595967532391171082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12541532.post-66025853187368237562008-08-20T12:46:00.000-04:002008-08-20T12:46:00.000-04:00I love a good rainstorm! :)I love a good rainstorm! :)TigerYogijihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339181047208308131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12541532.post-13178069692754197862008-08-20T08:44:00.000-04:002008-08-20T08:44:00.000-04:00DW, it's my impression that a couple of the staff ...DW, it's my impression that a <I>couple</I> of the staff working yesterday <I>might</I> have enjoyed a gambol-ing party in the rain...but the rest, <I>not so much</I>. <BR/><BR/>Plus, this time of year, when it starts raining, the restaurant's business nearly doubles within minutes, so they were unfortunately not available to go out and play.<BR/><BR/>Actually, this was a pretty intense storm; even I - who loves to run around in the rain - was cautious about this one, watching from inside for the worst of it and only sneaking out to snap a photo or two once it had arrived.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337889899066280559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12541532.post-39226666289689403672008-08-20T04:42:00.000-04:002008-08-20T04:42:00.000-04:00you should've taken the staff out to play in that ...you should've taken the staff out to play in that lovely downpour. i'm sure your customers wouldn't mind :) i'm almost certain your staff would've liked that.dykewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776768691386493709noreply@blogger.com
