Sorry to disappoint, but the blog ain’t dead yet. Life support perhaps, but I’m still liable to show up here whenever you least expect it.
Fact of the matter is my American life is pretty much plain vanilla. Which is to say, I’ve not been cursed to live in interesting times. So, there’s that.
Had a nice weekend in DC over Labor Day with my old friends Duke and Ji Young. It was nice hanging out, and I know Jee Yeun enjoyed having someone to share some Korea talk with again. Although there was one incident in a hotel restroom. No, no, not what your thinking. Jee Yeun and Ji Young were chatting between the stalls, and some woman occupying another stall gave them the old “you’re in America, speak English” routine. Ah well, sad people living sad empty lives are best ignored I suppose.
While in DC (actually, Sterling, VA) I played in a big dart tourney. Lots of pros in attendance (including the top 3 U.S. players) so there was no illusion going in about winning any cash. I made it out of the first round in both my events, so there’s that. I wound up losing to the player ranked 40th, but I gave him a game of it, so I’ll take whatever satisfaction that gives. Which isn’t a lot, but still, I always learn something about the game when I play against the best.
We travel back to Korea next month for a 90 day sojourn. Jee Yeun’s fiancee visa has finally been approved, but of course it has to be issued from the American Embassy in Korea.
I’m looking forward to the change of pace of my Korea life. Hell, who knows? Maybe I’ll find something worthy of blogging while I’m there.
And so it goes.
