Really need a school house rock video of the Chinese and their use of the number 5.

Yeah, but it'd be pentatonic scale and thusly would sound out of tune...

Thanks for the articles. Who knew your entire writing career would be focused on making sure I didn't mess up? Well, more than I already have.

I'm here for ya. 

I had this thought about your comments on not getting what you want. Patrick and I were amused at this because we let go of that long ago. We agreed it was one of the many lessons working on KFTC gave us - not to be attached to where we think the story is - that's just a gateway. We were reporters and documenters first and foremost, not storytellers. Chinese culture is so old and convoluted that if you are looking to confirm your assumptions, it'll only frustrate you. At the same time, the culture is so rich that once you learn to listen to it, once you have enough context, you just follow the story and it tells itself.
