Today marks six months in Korea. Coincidentally, it is also the day I leave for three weeks back in the states. I’ll be spending time with family in Virginia and South Carolina. My son is getting married next Saturday, and I will finally get to hold me granddaughter Gracyn. Yes, it will be good to be home again. I will also spend a week in NYC at a conference.

I’ve been reflecting some on my time here and lessons learned and all that. I am one quarter through a two year assignment now, and I believe I’m starting to make a life. I have my Wednesday night pool league and Friday poker nights. Work is challenging and if my performance rating is to be believed, my work is viewed as excellent.

Things aren’t too bad. I regret that I have let my blog whither on the vine, but it is not dead quite yet. I do have good intentions to get back to regular posting. Hopefully, this post will keep me in the “active” category, it would break my heart if the Nomad dropped me from his blogroll for lack of posting!

Anyway, I do think I have recaptured my positive outlook. I look forward to spending some quality time here at LTG in the coming days and weeks. Thanks for hanging in there.

Man, I am dreading my flight. I remember how I used to hate flying coast to coast, 5 hours stuck on a plane. Today I leave Incheon International at 1350, will land in San Francisco tomorrow morning, have a 3 hour layover, then on to DC arriving at 1940. That’s a long day. Good things waiting on the other side though, so I will tough it out (yeah, I’m spoiled and soft. 100 years ago it would have taken a week, and I guess coach accomadations on a steamer would not be much better than a small seat with no leg room).

By now you are surely thinkng: “Ah, he doesn’t write for weeks, then you can’t shut him up!” Well, you are in luck because pack I must (always the procrastinator!)

Back soon.
