A quarter of my face is still numb! I got my first root canal treatment just a few hours ago. Well, actually, I just had the first step done; I have 4 or 5 more visits to go. I think (and hope) that today's treatment was the most painful of all the steps since it's over and done with now! We'll see. My next appointment is next Tuesday at 6pm.

Oh, I'll be going to Shanghai on Thursday to sort out some Internet connection and/or worm (self-replicating computer virus) issues in our office there. Will be back in Hong Kong on Friday evening.
