There should be a normal link salad tomorrow, 4/7. After that, well, blogging is likely to be most irregular. I'll be 9 time zones away, with unknown Internet access and my hands full with the_child, her mother and my parents. I plan to photograph extensively in China, and blog offline at least, online when I can; but regular blogging service will probably not resume until 4/20.
