Some of my small handful of readers have mentioned that I haven't posted anything recently. Yes, I've been giving the blog a little break since nothing particularly exciting has happened in the past couple of weeks. The most interesting thing was probably the visit of Christy's colleague from Taiwan, Dexter Wen. Christy and Dexter worked together at Elan, in Hsinchu. We had no idea he lived in Texas until Christy suddenly discovered found him on Facebook, and he was living in Houston. He came out to visit us a couple of weekends ago, and told us that he's quitting his job and moving to Toronto. Oh well, that's too bad. It would have been nice for Christy to have a friend that's fairly close.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter out here. It's now lingering around 100 degrees every day. It can be a struggle sometimes to think of something to do on the weekend. We've been going to different parks, hoping to find something nice, but most of the local parks are pretty bad. It's mostly just a space for people to sit on picnic tables and bar-b-que. And the weather is so hot, I start to feel uncomfortable the minute I step out of the air-conditioned car.
Christy has told me that she wants a better job, and I don't blame her. She's completely overqualified for the job she's doing now. She wants to get into the health care business and learn how to operate an "ultrasound" machine. So she wants to be an "ultrasound technician." I think it's great for her. There's always demand for that sort of job. Healthcare seems to be the one industry that's hiring, and not firing these days.
So that's the latest news. Our second summer in Texas is upon us. I'm not looking forward to it.
