In a recent phone call from China, Jim and Connie Skinner announced their plans to maintain a permanent residence in the communist country. While this shocked many family members (including this reporter), the duo seemed unapologetic.
"We've found a better way here," said Connie. "Kung Pao is my new favorite chicken," added Jim.
Unconfirmed reports place Jim, Connie, and their new daughter Katie in the city of Guangzhou. Since leaving the western-style hotel, they have taken residence in one of the many mud huts popularized by the local working poor.
"Who needs the internet when you have all these fishing nets?" quipped Jim.
Stay tuned for further "news" updates as this reporter tempts the would-be defectors with the welcoming sight of Newark, NJ.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Although they have no internet access, Jim and Connie would like you to know that they are safe, on schedule, and having a good time with their Souvenir. Today they were to have gone to the U.S. Consulate to receive Katie's visa. They expect to land on U.S. soil Thursday evening.

Souvenir? I hope Katie is not a doll or statue for the mantle, but a real girl who will grow up to be an intelligent independent woman with the wonderful opportunities she now has thanks to the Skinners!
