So, I’m marching forward towards my new destiny. Taking steps to make that happen included booking my one-way ticket to the Philippines on the night of May 11, which also will be my last day on Uncle Sam’s payroll. I’ll be flying business class on Philippine Airlines. I’m hoping that will allow an extra free checked bag, but either way at least I’ll be leaving Korea in comfort. In a mere 71 days!

This afternoon I’ll be steppin’ on up to Seoul. Have an early morning appointment at the Army hospital. Dr. Lee ordered another CT scan, this time to check out “something” near my left kidney. Ain’t that a pisser? Afterwards I’ll drop by the Philippines embassy to see if I can apply for the Special Senior Retirement Visa (SSRV) locally before I depart. I know in the PI the Philippines Retirement Authority has agents that do most of the legwork. We’ll see. But shit is starting to get real, that’s for sure.

Facebook reminded me that 4 years ago I was living a different dream. Fuck you for that Facebook. I’ve given up trying to understand what went wrong.

Does anyone know what “inexplicable” means? I looked it up in the dictionary, but it just said “cannot be explained”. So I still don’t know… (ahem).

This Sunday will be my fifth Hash with the 5H hashers. Could be I’ll earn the honor of being “named”. We’ll see. I’m really looking forward to rejoining my “home” Hash is Subic, with or without a name.

I’ve been “fixed” myself, but I’m still up for finding me some romance when I’m living on the beach.

This is wrong on so many levels…

My brother must have been born to be a trucker…

Anyway, I’d best be getting on the road. Today is a Korean holiday, who knows what that means traffic-wise.

Did I mention I fly in 71 days?
