Today my fellow China watchers and I demolished a pile of lotus root, mushrooms, tofu, and other treats at the area's best hotpot restaurant, Uncle Liu's. Roxane, the woman to my left, has been my fabulous friend, worklife coach, politics guru, and morning coffee/tea mate since 2002. Our daily breaks have shown more staying power than a lot of marriages! Mornings definitely will not be the same without her.
The person on my right wearing a hoodie to protect against hot chili oil stains is my legacy Oliver. I give him and Matt (another colleague in my office) the eye-candy award for my bureau, but I won't embarrass them by telling until I'm out the door.
