经纪刚刚打电话来，一个bachelor单位，四万一千，卖主接受了。现在有租客，每月六百五十。明年一月初close。除去各种费用，每个月可能余下两百。因为是公司租用，修理费用低，租客也不敢无故损坏，因为这是和工作挂钩的。[阅读全文]

我怎么也想不到，我离上一次回国已经12年了。自从父亲生病上次回去，我就没有了双亲。兄弟姐妹自然有，但没有了父母，感觉是不一样的了。总是说今年回去，明年回去，但总是没有回去。我的孩子们说，你总是说明年带我们回去，这个明年已经不知道多少年了。五年前，妻子带两个孩子回去，我也没有回去。今年孩子们参加了中文学校的寻根之旅。加上大家都说要看世博[阅读全文]

我还记得一月底从Tampa到NewOrleans空中一线，海水好漂亮。隐约中看到水中有井架，也是就是后来爆炸的那一口。
去德州的时候，在海边也看到井架，以及海滩附近水面的油污。那是远在BP出事之前。我当时心想，这海里采油，总是有污染的。
