Hey guys,

Please let me use you as my little “Guinea Pigs”.  A “Guinea Pig” is a slang term meaning “person taking part in an experiment”.

Here is an example.  “I don’t want to be a guinea pig for that new heart medicine.  I don’t care how much money they give me.”

Here I am, Shanghai 2:25 am on a Tuesday morning. I either can’t sleep or I don’t really want to, I’m not quite sure which it is at the moment.  I don’t really care either.  I’m quite happy to be blogging again.

We all naturally want quick results when we do something. We want to know if something is working or if we are just wasting our time and energy.
