On the second night of the Olympics I performed Beyond the Chariots here in Hong Kong. Afterward H. K. Cheng (far right) told what Eric Liddell was like as one of his instructors at the Tientsin Anglo-Chinese College and Rev. Jim Hudson Taylor, great grandson of Hudson Taylor (next to his wife, Leo...

I'm looking out my window at Hong Kong's nightly light show and at the opening ceremonies for the Beijing Olympics. Joyce, who's getting ready to fly here, said they're not showing it live.

This afternoon I performed Beyond the Chariots after the closing ceremonies of a YMCA sports camp. Then I joined Amor (far right) and his associates to record voices for a curriculum project. I did a number of kid voices that were, ironically, about the same age as the students for whom I'd performe...

Yes, I'm safe, and the typhoon cancelled my first engagement, which actually helped me adjust to this time zone in a bit more leisurely fashion. I was doing fine all day, and then at 8pm it hit me and lo, I was dead to the world. That's about the time I would have been engaged in conversation after...

Though our dramatizations won't be completed until the fall due to
the difficulty of film permits during and immediately after the
Olympics, Good News Communication completed our documentary about Eric Liddell.

I'm staying at the YMCA of Hong Kong, where I'll perform my play

A typhoon hit this area just before I landed, so it's sort of working its way to calm this morning.

Our flight was oversold, so I was thrilled to just get a seat. Since I only took this one shot from an emergency door I decided to repost the note and photo below from the last trip here in January 2007...

Now the sun's coming up over Russia. Besides the lack of technology, this mi...

I was at MasterWorks when Joyce moved us (along with friends and a moving company) into Manhattan Plaza. One night she said, "We have a new night light." Now, we check with each other whenever we make purchases of over $100, so I was thinking, "What kind of night light did she buy?...

I just received the following note from the producers of Judah Ben Hur.  I played about five minor roles in the Singapore production, including Pontius Pilate and Simonides.

Now they're hoping to bring it to Broadway.

It has such a phenomenal message!

Please help us increase our hit rate ...
