Just seeing if this will post normally, too...

Hiya, Lenny! Shaving various bits, huh? Beware itchy stubble within a few days...heehee

Meanwhile, here in Hong Kong, the SARS epidemic continues to spread. More than 1/3 of the world's reported cases (as well as 1/3 of the deaths so far...)are here on my door-step. I say "reported cases" because there are loads of UN-reported cases in places like mainland China...

I cancelled my Easter trip to see Man because Thailand isn't looking kindly on visitors arriving from "infected countries". Immigration looks like a hospital, with doctors and nurses doing health checks on everybody arriving from infected places like Hong Kong, Canada, etc.

I'm still not wearing a face mask, and as long as I continue to avoid crowded places, buses, the subway, etc. and wash my hands a lot (that's how it's being transmitted...) I feel like I'll be ok. But I dread it continuing on and on. Not only all these people's lives lost or disrupted (exposed people living in camps now...) but it may effect my moving dates, etc. in June.

Fingers crossed...
