My Chinese name is Lin Da Wei in Mandarin and Lam Dai Wai in Cantonese.
I went to a catholic high school and had Brothers of St Joseph. One of them had a nickname for me based on my hair (you’ve al seen the HS pic) and it started with “n.” That’s all can say.
If you want to see the pic, its my avatar over on Asshathill….come on over, the water is fine and we don’t get caught up calling each other names
Depending on your familiarity w/ languages, I’m Goo – Chinese for great aunt on mother’s side. It now embarrasses the hell out of the children who know me by it.
Yes, you can go do this now, but be gentle! The wax paper is more to protect your book! The flower may bleed out a bit of color. I would have it like so:
book page, wax paper, paper towel, flower, paper towel, wax paper, book page
Kens, it varies. I started using the english name during my internships in college. my supervisor told me my chinese name was too gender neutral sounding hence suggested I use my english name. Friends I grew up with calls me by my chinese name (a few has pivoted recently to the english name as they hear my wife use it during gatherings), friends since college use my english name, wife uses english name, work english name.
so Benson, did you see (and maybe already commented) on the article last week in NYTimes (I think) regarding NY state and wind power more specifically in western NY ..something about NYState requiring certain amt of renewable energy but heavy resistance to building power lines thru upstate to bring the electric from windmills down here to NYC (where is needed).
Does not sound like special few upper crust owners off coast of CapeCod or Hamptons ..but general community opposition to power lines.
Jessi, are you lurking? I need you!

“The head of the flower is a pretty good size…large I guess”
That’s the best kind
