A Fowl Identity: But the story doesn't stop there. My friend Adam in Beijing--still harboring a grudge against me for getting everyone at the college we taught at last year to change his name from "Mu Aide" to the more convenient and slightly more humorous "Mumu"--took to my new name very quickly. He had been kind enough to mail me some things I left at his place during a short trip in February but wrote my name as "Jimu" or chicken mother in Chinese characters on the package. And an Arborblogger to boot.
