You're in the thick of it.

Lenny, thanks for the concern. I am doing great!

I am around 650 miles southwest of the typhoon, so just like when we went to PK in Texas, the sun is shineing in Shanghai and all is well. I saw on Yahoo the international air flights out of England had a few issues. I expect to be able to fly out tomorrow without any issues.
Business has gone very well here and if anybody wants to hire my companies services in sourcing products or having quality inspection services performed here, I can assure you that if you do not come over here to review your vendors on a very regular basis, you will be sorry.
Sourcing in China is similiar to sourcing out of Mexico, except that the Spanish language is much easier to cross over into English.
There are not enough accurate symbols in the Chinese language to properly match up to English engineering terms and jargon.
