On May 17, 2014, Jenny and myself were invited by Brown County Public Library to do a Chinese Calligraphy presentation (James) and Taichi Chuan presentation (Jenny). We had a very enthusiastic audience, ready to respond to questions and challenges. For some two hours or so we had lots of fun. Brown County Public Library is a beautifully located library, surrounded by woods and interesting terrain. We thoroughly enjoy our first visit, wishing to go there sometime in the future....

On May 20, 2014 I was invited again to write Chinese calligraphy for an IU summer Institute for Curriculum and Campus Internationalization. This is the fourth time I am doing it. Lots of fun though! One 70-year-old participant made an interesting short speech to the audience: "I could have chosen 'Longevity' for my present, but since I am already 70, so I thought I had longevity already. So, instead I chose 'Daring' for my life from now on, to challenge the world in a nice way...."

This is a wood cut artwork, done some time ago, now given to my granddaughter Rachel.

This is the calligraphy done by my teacher Professor Liang Shih-Chiu more than forty-five years ago as a wedding gift when Jenny and myself were getting married. It is a beautiful poem written by a famous poet Chang Ke-Jiou in Yuan Dynasty....

This is Ella, a Labrador Retriever daughter Clare has kept for the past 14 or 15 years. For Ella I wrote an essay "I Love Ella" recently (2014-March) and this sketch was done some ten years ago.
