I don't know why I haven't been blogging this year of my life in Thailand.

Especially since so many wonderful things have happened here.

Especially since this is a road I'll only pass by once.

Nevertheless, I'm here now, fingers on the keyboard.

Hello, old friend.

It's been 7 months and some since we came to Thailand. I say we because, for the first time in my wandering life, I didn't go alone. Despite the uncertainty and the "awkwardness" of old-fashioned relationships in a modern world, David and I got on a plane together. Craziness, I'm sure. But it's not the first crazy scheme I've had, and I certainly hope it won't be the last.

There have been so many challenges since landing in the City of Angels. More, it sometimes feels, than my fair share. But there have been some brilliant moments, too, and they are worth enshrining with words. 

Stay tuned.
