| First I must apology
to my faithful readers for the delay in publishing this issue. The delay
is caused by (no, not the millennium bug) simply overestimating my ability
to handle the holiday rush and the deadline of Paradox at the same time.
Since the holiday won't change its schedule, I could only change
Paradox's schedule. Second, this issue we have the encore appearance of
Patrick Wong's writing. I am very thankful about that.
The Lunar calendar New Year falls
on February 5th this year. For many years, it went by without me putting
much thought to it. But these few years, I found renewed interests in it.
I would buy special food for the occasion, cook special dishes on New Year's
eve, and treasure the time spend with family more. I know sentimentality
only grows with age and I probably do have more years to look back on than
to look forward to. What I want most of all at this time of my life
is to connect all the "dots". I don't know what the big picture will look
like. The "dots" that are in my future have not been plotted yet.
The "dots" that are way in the past are quite obscured as well. But
there is this continuation of things that draws me to it. So here you are,
Paradox February 2000 issue, another "dot" on the grand scheme of my life.
