Finally, a day when life seems to get “regular”, whatever that is.  Judy gets off to school, forgetting only her lunch.  I clean the floors, and do a few loads of laundry.  The Rangers are on my MLB app, playing the Angels.  I can get the radio broadcast.  The West Coast start times are great for me here.  It’s 10:00 am, so I sit down to catch up on website entries, experiment with Hulu a little more, and check out Facebook for the first time.  What happened to the Rangers?  When we left DFW, it looked like Wash might be getting fired, and the team was way behind Oakland.  Now they’re tied?

Judy gets home around 5:00, ready to check out the nearby Capitol Mall..  There’s a “nail” place she’s heard about.  We find the nail place and she goes in.  I start wandering!  The mall contains 7 levels.  Top floor seems to be restaurants only.  Korean, Malaysian, Chinese, Mongolian, Japanese, etc.  I check out all the menus.  One of them listed “Sliced Donkey”, yum!  It looked good in the menu picture, but I didn’t try it.  After nails and menu browsing we eat pizza in the Pizza Hut (living life on the wild side).  Pizza is only about 1/10th what this restaurant has.  It’s a huge menu with dishes ranging from seafood to steaks.

After dinner, it’s back to the apartment to prepare for Friday.  We’ve almost been in Beijing for two weeks.  Unbelievable!
