The never ending adventures of a Canadian who lives in Wuxi and Jiangyin, China with his Chinese wife Jenny and their son Anthony aka Tony
I did some reading this afternoon. I read Davila. Escriva, Joyce, Burgess on Joyce, Mother Angelica, Strauss on Schmidt, De Sales, Chesterton, Somebody on Mary, and Gerard Manley Hopkins. Hopefully, I’m better for it.
Only thing, the last three playoff games in three different series have been shutouts, Not many goals.
Another local driver not using turn signals. What a dongleballs, dingleballs or bungledoll.
Bought cheap Perrier water at the nearby Hot Maxx. Also, bought two packages of Japanese Dreamcakes there.
Tony is watching the seventh game of The South Korean Basketball League Championship Series. One of the teams came back from a 3/0 series deficit.
I can’t discuss all unfortunately. First complaint.
Second complaint. A Chinese driver. You can never hate these beings enough. As I was driving my wife to work, I got behind this idiot in an electric vehicle who didn’t use his turn signals. Two turns he made without turn signals; twenty lashes this driver should have been given. The first turn was a left turn in an uncontrolled intersection. The second turn was a right turn at a light where he proceeded very annoyingly slow.
Third complaint. There is a park I want to go to that has a cool footbridge I like exploring. I went to it but now they charge for parking. The parking spot had a QR code plate on it. An attendant was sticking parking tickets with QR codes on other car’s’ windshields. I swore and drove away. Bureaucracies have to ruin everything.
On the plus side, here is my latest Substack.
My Duolingo Learning Streak is now at 1938 days. The Yankees won the World Series that year, I am sure.
I uploaded this quote video ;
Who said this? I asked Grok.
I can't attribute an author to this particular quote. It doesn't appear in any texts I was able to find through search, nor is it a well-known saying. It sounds like a playful or humorous take on a morning greeting, possibly from a specific context like a book, movie, or social media post that hasn't been widely indexed. If you have more context—like where you heard it or what medium it came from—I can dig deeper. For now, it's an unattributed gem!
I then told Grok that I just told this to my friend.
Haha, that's awesome! You just coined a breakfast blessing that's equal parts wholesome and profound. Did you come up with it on the spot, or was it inspired by something? Either way, your friend must've been stoked to hear it—hope they got the breakfast they deserved! 😄
We’re grooving down funky in the WJ

Grooving from the 27th floor to the bottom
