Blue Tiger Butterflies on YuanGuang Trail

Brother Jimmy was discharged from the Taipei Hospital this morning. I didn't go to the hospital to help him discharge for the first time, because he asked me not to. His inmates at WuGu Rehabilitation Center were assigned to take care of his dischargement by the WuGu Director. I sent the Director a Thank You card timely and accordingly.

Jimmy is a generous and kind person, he is admired by several lady residents, they fought to visit him when he was hospitalized in the past month. I am happy for Jimmy that he likes his extended family at WuGu. As one of the oldest residents, Jimmy lives like a big brother to everyone around him at WuGu. So long as Jimmy is happy to stay at WuGu where he has resided for more than 12 years, I wish him all the best to enjoy his remaining years as he wishes.

The weather was pleasant this morning. At 10:30 I took the New Taipei Free Bus to the YuanGuang Trail by the river. It was a refreshing walk. I saw many Blue Tigers（Tirumala limniace）flying in the air. Suddenly I heard a loud voice from the trees, I found a big monkey family of 10. I looked at them on the tree branches for at least ten minutes, and they stared at me in return. It was easy to tell the small monkeys from the big ones, but I found it hard to tell who the monkey king was.

 

When I found a dying by the road side, I couldn't help but picking it up. Luckily one of my friends living in the neighborhood just passing by on his motorbike and gave me a lift to my lady friend's farm house. I put the dying butterfly on the cover of Manga "Demon Slayer", took a photo, and buried it in the garden. After a big lunch, my friend and I took turns singing karaoke for one hour while drinking coffee and have pineapples for dessert. Before leaving, she gave me 3 handmade ZongZi to celebrate the coming Dragon Boat Festival on Saturday. 

At 2 o'clock I took the free bus back to Qizhang MRT station, and rode my bike back home. I watched the second DVD of 3 episodes of Demon Slayer in the afternoon. At night, I finished writing today's journal and the travelogue of weekend excursion this past weekend. From Thursday, I shall start an English online gathering group with my 1977 pharmacy classmates of Taipei Medical University.

Dear 623 Classmates,

The weekly 623 online gathering in English will be put to experiment from 10:30 till 11:00 every Thursday morning. Loud speakers as well as silent listeners are all welcome. Let's share ideas and thoughts about our past, present, and future. Let's add varieties and colors to our lives.

Audio only, no visual, therefore no need to worry about the proper attire. We are not native Egnlish speakers. Therefore no need to worry about the correct usage of the English grammar. We brainstorm together in a foreign language for fun.

Just tune in, and enjoy the chitchatting among us for 30 minutes. Let's get connected in the cyber space to know more about ourselves and the world.

The tentative ten episodes are scheduled as follows:

1. Travel 5/29; 2. Hobby 6/5; 3. Health 6/12; 4. Exercise 6/19; 5. Food 6/26; 6. Entertainment 7/3; 8. Transportation 7/17; 9. Communication 7/24; 10. Community 7/31
