Weekend

I'm out of the Chung for the next 2 or 3 days. I have to go to Alishan and teach Jim Edstein how to play chess. Specifically, he needs to learn that White does have options for the first move other than 1. C3. The lastest tropical storm is zipping past Kenting as I write this, so I may have the dubious luxury of driving 1 1/2 hours up a mountain in the pouring rain.

If you are in Taichung tonight, do not miss the Mustache Party at 89K. There is no cover charge, there will be bands, and there will be, I assume, a lot of mustaches. I do hope that Chiang Kai-Shek's mustache is featured prominently somewhere, preferably alongside materials with which to deface it.
