Just some stuff:
- I added some links to older pictures (from my pre-China life, for instance) in the Photos section; it’s on the right hand side under the title “Older Photos.” This was previously accessible through the legacy version, but I thought I’d just consolidate all the pictures here so people can see how much [...]

Ok, dear reader, I am about to tell you a story that will start sounding very inane and inconsequential, but I promise that it will morph into a potential saga that will keep you riveted for many posts to come.
