As I write this, I'm en route from Atlanta back to Beijing.
There are lots of things I love about China, and Beijing. Frankly, its rapidly becoming one of my favorite places I've ever lived -- and I've lived in a lot of damn places. The people, the food, the culture... even my job. They're all great.
But there's a critical thing that's missing -- Chip.
Chip's my son, and he remains in Atlanta. With each mile that passes 31,000 feet below me, further separating us, my heart grows heavier. I tell myself I'm doing this for the greater good - and I truly believe I am - but it doesn't make it any easier. Being around him is like breathing sunshine.
Miss ya, buddy... can't wait to see you soon!
Once just humble low-rent screenwriters, Charlie & Dave have now evolved and write about writing, more than they actually... erm... write.
American expat Charlie is now in Beijing, and spins tales of life and business in China, while reporting on the local entertainment scene.
California expat Dave is now in New York, and spins tales of life, love, and survival in New York, while reporting on whatever it is people in Tarrytown do.
