Something to bring up:

1. My class was dismissed one hour earlier than usual for those who observe Yom Kippur.

2. My newly ordered Lee Oskar 10 Hole Diatonic Harmonicas arrived today. One for myself and one for Oscar [ you should have known my roomie Oscar right? ]. We chose this brand mainly because of its name: Lee [ Li ] Oskar [ Oscar ]. We could name our band [ TBD ] after this. Oh, did I say I know nothing about playing Harmonica? My only memory with harmonica is about the one I used to have as a kid--I blew it like a whistle. I have no idea whether I will succeed learning to play it. But in consideration of the 25 bucks invested on the palm-size gear, I should take it seriously.

3. For so long I haven't been dreaming of something so badly like this one. To make a short story long, let me tell you a Chinese parable "getting the casket and returning the pearl" first:

A man from the state of Chu wanted to sell a precious pearl in the state of Zheng. He made a casket for the pearl out of the wood from a magnolia tree, which he fumigated with spices. He studded the casket with pearls and jade, ornamented it with red gems and decorated it with kingfisher feathers. A man of the state of Zheng bought the casket and gave him back the pearl.

Too luxuriant decoration usually supersedes what really counts. This man from Chu certainly knew how to sell a casket but he was no good at selling his pearl. And the man of Zheng didn't know which is really valuable.
