Adjusting

It seems very quiet here in Cottekill today, especially after all that went on in Hong Kong and Macau. The snow is piled up and a cold wind blows the birdhouse back and forth outside my office window. Instead of Steamed Lily Bulbs and Scallop Dumplings, lunch is a spaghetti sauce made before my trip and frozen for my return.

There is no protest like the one I saw last Sunday in Hong Kong or the lighting of joss sticks like I loved so much in Macau’s A-Ma Temple. Only the domestic sounds of washing machine and dishwasher for noise. Would I return to Macau? “Hell yes”, but for now I’ll try to adjust. Myriad Travel Marketing and Macau Tourism did a fabulous job showing me a remarkable destination, many thanks.
