I’m visiting a conference in Denton, TX, on campus at the University of North Texas. It’s a nice campus, but it’s hard to tell these days; it’s so hot up here you can’t really get out and tour the facilities for any length of time! It was 107 in the shade today, and the heat [...] Read more »

My daughter and all my money go to Texas Lutheran. It’s a good thing, really. She’s getting a top-notch education, she’s earning great grades while enjoying herself, and someday she’ll be able to support me in a lifestyle to which I hope to become accustomed. Maybe.

At least the longest, anyways. We visited a factory in Guangzhou, which is nearly two hours from Shenzhen one-way. The sun comes up early in Shenzhen, and today it brought rain with it.
