等著好消息

Hi, Edmond, Alenda,
Congratulations on your new teaching post at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio in the Fall.
Dadi is very happy to hear the good news! Here is my Hakka-3-line-poem for you. Hope you can figure out what is said.

等等等等等
總算等著好消息
阿爸實在還歡喜(還=很 in Hakka)

愁愁愁愁愁
阿爸愁爾一生人
愁到頭禿（光）鬚也白

Already checked out Athens, Ohio. It's about 6 hours drive from SS, MD. Can't wait to visit Edmond there.

Dadi will be in Birmingham, AL on June 4-9 for National Senior Olympics in tennis games, in West Chester, PA for TAC/EC(Taiwanese Americans Summer Conference/East Coast) on July 1-4, and in LA for Global Hakka Conference on August 4-6 and joining a group tour afterwards about 6 days. Then we swing by SB to see
Elliot and then drive up to see Oregon and Washington.

With much care and love,

Dadi
