Early morning is quite interesting on my city block. This is a typical morning on the way to and from Tai Chi. My Tai Ji Quan master is Mr. Zhou, a retired engineer married to the music teacher. Mr. Shen and his wife Mrs. Cai are retired clerks from the school. Mrs. Liu, a geography teacher; Mrs. Qian, a sports teacher and Mrs. Shi is my friend, whose daughter translates to English for us. They each have grandchildren.
