Two guys, two weeks, two cities, too many adventures

Can I even begin to wrap my head around the last two weeks as I sit along in an airport in Vietnam and look back at it all? Honestly, I can not.   Part of that was the drunken reverie of it, part of it is the lack of sleep as we just kept going, and part of it is that I miss my friend.   It will all come back, as I get rest, get distance, and get to debrief and talk with J; of that I’m not worried.   It has, however, been about 5.5 hours of sleep per night for 2 weeks, coupled with napping here and there, so it’s still a whirlwind of food, drinks, activities, life, friendship, camaraderie, and two guys who are 30ish years into friendship who haven’t seen each other in long years finally getting back together to explore and enjoy each other’s company and the enjoyment and never stopping energy that is Bangkok and Saigon.   I will say to BSchmittah, since I’m writing, I kind of hate you for the ink.   Not in an angry way, but in a; Damned it, I want that too- kind...

Facing the truth

Recently, I got a notification that my email was getting near 80% and so I’ve spent some time this week cleaning that out.   Some of it was just garbage that was floating around, like Amazon order confirmations and receipts that are no longer needed, same with Costco, Barnes and Noble, etc etc.   Some of it was just dated, work related or stuff like that.   Some of it, though, was personal emails and I took some time cleaning through that.   Most if it was unneeded, but I figured it would be better safe than sorry.

Back at it after a break

Sorry to all the regular readers for the radio silence.   A lot has been going on recently, but nothing that is really blog worthy.   Just life transition stuff and the start of a new school year.   It’s been hard to find time to break away and get to this as well.   I’ve been on Dada duty with J going back to her classroom and work two weeks prior to Kiddo.   Plus, I’m getting a holiday in a few weeks to get to BKK and then Saigon and catch up with BSchmittah.   I’m excited for that and can’t wait to show him around a city we called home for three years and then take him to a place I love so much I got a tattoo of it on me.   Saigon is, I’ve said before, my spiritual home and I’ve gotten to share that with Kiddo and J, but to share it with a guy that is my best friend and more akin to a brother than a friend… There’s some excitement there.   Also, though, a ton of planning and making sure B is good with travel times and all we are doing. The bigg...
