Latest From China

I have not heard from my son ,Martin, for a while. He lives outside of Shanghai. He teaches english there. Crystal, my daughter heard from him at New Years. He was happy. Cool.

The Chinese government blocks FACEBOOK and other internet communication at times...and I miss talking to him there...and seeing photos etc. His girlfriend's english name is 'Rose'...COOL.

Here's the latest photo I have of him and Rose.
