    Was I insane to have CDs pressed in the year 2016? (It sure felt like it when I paid for it.)

    If you want and deserve more, this is the package for you. Imagine it: I will sign your CD, add two of my favorite Chinese snack foods to your order and give you a tour poster featuring the album cover artwork.

    About the snacks: Do you like when sweet and salty meet? I will send you two "Kiss-burn" snacks. What is it? It is a meatless jerky made from gluten. That may not get you excited on its own...but the spices? Divine. Your mouth will delight with the perfect blend of sweet, salty and a hint of spicy. You are getting two because immediately after eating one you will think, "I can't wait to eat the other one later." 'Later' will be moments later when you think, "Oh hell, I want it now."

about

Written when I tried to imagine what being home would be like. I have collected so many memories in China. On top of that, I have so many physical reminders of my students (photos, messages, art, personal letters...). Will these things bring me happiness or remind me that I am not there?

lyrics

I lie on my bed and read your perfumed letters.
My eyes sting. My heart drops. I’m left with one feeling:
Alone… I’m all alone
Now that …I’m back home

Photographs of your smile are part of my story.
Your bright light, flooded the shadows and revealed a hole…in my life
I didn’t know
So…now where do I go?

Remember dancing slowly
Singing the songs you taught me
The mountains and valleys
Filled me with a new sense of hope

I lie on my bed and read your perfumed letters.
