Thanks, guys! I really appreciate it. Last two nights I've had 4AM Skype calls to family to talk logistics while crying. And on top of being sleep deprived, just trying to manage my emotions on the job.

You must have had a wonderful father to produce such a fine, upstanding gentleman of a son. My heart goes out to you, my friend. :heart:

Thank you, all. When I saw him on Christmas, he was so happy that I had such good friends in Taiwan and a good support group online. I went out with ThreadKiller last night and I know my dad would have felt I was in good hands at this time.

On a more positive note, I saw Anthony posted a link about Kevin. I know its not the best circumstances but its great to see Kevin happy and on the mend.

Fang Lizhi (Fāng Lìzhī / 方勵之) has died at the age of 76. He had been living in exile in the United States since leaving China after 6-4. (In addition to being a leading physicist, he was a strong voice for democracy.) RIP.
