Dio Fans Unite!

Here's something to tide you all over until I can get a moment to write about our Guangzhou trip.

As we were heading to check in at the Guangzhou airport on our way home, I found this delightful coffee shop. I attempted to explain why this was hilarious to Jeremy but he didn't really get it. He did, however, get that my brother Phillip would absolutely love it so he happily took a photo for me.

If you're a Dio fan, you'll love this as much as Phillip and I did. Enjoy, and if you're in Guangzhou and have some time to kill at the airport, please stop by there and find out why they've named their coffee shop after an old metal band.

A Big Man With A Tiny Hat

I've been wanting to post this for a while but had to wait until my husband handed over the photos which he'd taken during the Chinese National Holiday when we'd gone down to the beach. He'd always try to give them to me after I'd shut down my computer for the evening. Or even while I had already slid into bed, struggling to keep my eyes open to read just a few more pages of something Carl Hiaasen because I simply must read all his books repeatedly. Currently, it's Strip Tease again. Don't even ask me how many times I've read Stormy Weather. Yes, his books are that good. Just thought you should know.

Anyway, before history repeats itself and I wake with a jolt to discover I've been drooling on my pillow while Jeremy tries not-so-discretely to capture that loveliness on video, please allow me to introduce to you the big man with a tiny hat...
Now before you think I'm some total jerk that makes fun of random large people at the beach (I'm just a regular jerk thankyouverymuch), I'm not making fun of him for being big. I'm making fun of him for wearing such a teeny tiny hat while being his size.

I mean, just LOOK at it. It's so small. It looks like a child's cowboy hat, right? Or perhaps he bought it down in Guangzhou where everything is small. Or...maybe he IS from Guangzhou! We don't know that, but what we do know is this hat is clearly the absolute wrong size for this guy.

Check it out from the side...
That hat is seriously 3 sizes too small for him. Maybe he stole it from a child. The world may never know!
