The Longbow Papers

Or rather: Wanna See the New Digs?
I have too much bad Karma for such a dream to come true in this lifetime. So, again, forget the old fool in the tattered straw hat, look at this beautiful restoration of a traditional Beijing home in one of this great city's still thriving central hutongs that has not been gentrified. Hutongs that throb and bounce with Chinese life. Hutongs that I am privileged to experience just a little bit because the smartest laowai I know, Professor Russell Leigh Moses, indulges me as once a week we walk off platters of the world's best dumplings eaten in a restaurant with only four tables and talk about everything we see, remember and imagine.

Russ took the picture. It's not his fault, it's this craggy old face and lumpy old frame of mine.
