I\u2019m meeting some of the guys from BISS (James and Mark) at the Chaoyang Golf Club. It\u2019s a 9-hole course. We have a lot of fun. It\u2019s always interesting to play with a caddy, after years of schlepping my own stuff around a course, either on my back, on a pull-cart, or in an electric cart. They mark balls on the green, clean clubs and golf balls after each hole, provide yardage that\u2019s accurate. Unfortunately, even with all that help, you still have to hit your own shots. I wasn\u2019t great today, but I wasn\u2019t awful, either.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1930\" style=\"width: 234px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1712.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1930\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1930 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1712-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1712\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1712-224x300.jpg 224w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1712-764x1024.jpg 764w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1712-624x835.jpg 624w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1712.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1930\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It was a pretty day on the golf course<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We finished at 11:45, and I hurried home. I ate, showered, changed clothes, and left the apartment by 12:45. I have a rehearsal at 1:30 with some of the BHSFIC Orchestra Club students. I take a taxi instead of the train because I\u2019m running a little late, and I\u2019m carrying my clarinet and a folding music stand, along with my full backpack. My plan is to leave them at school, and bring home the flute.<\/p>\n<p>When I arrive, around 1:20, I get the flute out of the cabinet I\u2019ve been using to store my school stuff, and head up to the auditorium for the rehearsal. There are four students today. We have a decent rehearsal on the arrangement I completed. It\u2019s fun to talk to them about their summer experiences. Three of them went to the US for summer academic camps. After rehearsal, they tell me they\u2019ve decided to rehearse Monday, as well. I head downstairs to lock up my clarinet and the music stand, and the entire teacher\u2019s office area (8 desks, 6 cabinets, and all the stuff) has been moved for cleaning. I try to find where the cabinet went (it\u2019s only been two hours), and no one seems to know. I finally give up and head home carrying everything I brought over, plus the flute.<\/p>\n<p>Back home, Judy has stayed busy walking the neighborhood, checking out the two nearest mall areas. She\u2019s looking for baby gifts for upcoming showers for BISS faculty. She had some luck, but is worn out. I\u2019m tired myself, after walking the golf course and traveling over to BHSFIC and back. Dinner is delivery from \u201cAvocado Tree\u201d. It\u2019s a copy of \u201cChipotle\u201d, and we fully enjoy the evening watching Scandal, and eating our \u201cChicken Bowl\u201d.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1933\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_3206.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1933\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1933 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_3206-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3206\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_3206-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_3206-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_3206-624x832.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1933\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grocery shopping at BHG in Capita Mall<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1931\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_3204.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1931\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1931 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_3204-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3204\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_3204-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_3204-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_3204-624x832.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1931\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the &#8220;kid play areas&#8221; in Capita Mall.
