It's hard to believe I've been back in America for almost six weeks now. Life is moving along and most importantly, despite some bumps, my Dad is doing well. Today was a "town day" so I drove him in for some shopping. It's still cold here though -- I really want spring to get to it.
I wasn't totally sure what would happen to this here blog once I left Korea. Thing is, as much as I yap about Korea, I've always considered this to be a personal, early 2000's era type of thing, i.e., an online diary that very few people actually read.
And I think we'll continue with that! I'm getting back into taking pictures, and you might notice I've been putting together a series called The Give and The Take. I'm working on short prose pieces to give any and everybody a sense of what it's like taking care of an older relative -- mostly good things I hope, but inevitably some bad as well. In addition, I brought a notebook-and-a-half of material from Daegu sketching out my life as a (former) English teacher.
I'm really happy for anybody to come by, honestly. Sitting down to write a little bit and post some photos at night, even a relatively meaningless little post like this, gives me a fair amount of pleasure these days.
And I'm reading a ton, as well, so expect even more straight-up book reviews.
I should be getting a COVID shot this spring, and as long as things continue to go pretty well I'll be here in Bellingham for the rest of 2021.
A crystal ball would be nice, no? But I'll settle for this for now.
Will I jinx 2021 by saying it's going OK so far? For everybody I hope?
