A 3-month solo biking tour from the plains (Jiangsu, China) to the mountains (Guizhou, China). The trip was temporarily paused because my cheap bicycle couldn’t handle the hilly roads.

May 21, 2024 exploring digital nomad communities in Zhejiang

April 28, 2024 visiting my parents and rethinking our relationship after reading https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/12/the-tail-end.html

Being in their mid-60s, let’s continue to be super optimistic and say I’m one of the incredibly lucky people to have both parents alive into my 60s. That would give us about 30 more years of coexistence. If the ten days a year thing holds, that’s 300 days left to hang with mom and dad. Less time than I spent with them in any one of my 18 childhood years. It turns out that when I graduated from high school, I had already used up 93% of my in-person parent time. I’m now enjoying the last 5% of that time. We’re in the tail end.
