The Shaolin Zone

[Drunk Monk]

I get an email after midnight on Halloween that I can pick up Decheng from his host’s house the following day (yesterday) because they work all day and left him alone at their house. I can’t do that because I must work (I’m still catching up from Houston). Gigi generously offers to take him out to lunch (he’s in Union City, adjacent to Fremont) but the hosts say they e already ordered delivery. 

The hosts have arranged nothing. Another master advertised a seminar on WeChat - Jonny found it and forwarded it to me. It’s tomorrow night. I reached out but got no response.

Gigi & I are planning a qigong seminar for Tuesday night at Tiger Claw. She meets with her qigong group (remnants of Tu’s group) and again has generously offered to pay for all of her classmates. I’m search for more attendees but it’s tricky because we don’t quite know what is being offered. I have one more. I need about three on top of that.

Then we’re planning a private dinner on Wednesday - again it’s on Gigi. 

I’ve also been tasked to deliver an article to Den about how Jet saved Shaolin Temple. It’s a topic I’ve tackled before, so this is a rewrite. Den has me on for 3 pieces this November which I am pleased to take on as I haven’t been doing too much for them lately, but it’s still more work.
