"Summertime in England"


So, without fanfare, or explanation I return in some small way.

Why did I go away? Do I only post in Ordinary Time? Have the heartfelt expressions of interest from friends finally cracked my frozen exterior? Am I just really bored at work?

Oi! Didn't you read the clause in the first sentence that said no explanation!?

Today, or perhaps yesterday, Dave arrives in England. His wonderful family around him, I wish him the best. He'll be gone for a couple of years. Based on my understanding of my own future plans, I will not be in this area when he gets back. I love the Internet. Dave moves away, but I'll still read his blog, he'll still read mine, and gmail will always allow us to talk.

I guess this is a transitional period for my friends. Some are buying houses, some are moving, some are getting married. I feel like a caterpillar who realises that not only are his friends all butterflies already, but he kinda missed the boat on the whole chrysalis thing. Ah, too depressing to think about really.

Time to clear the dust out on this thing. I can feel the sunlight hitting corners. Let's see what she can do!

Welcome back dude!

Where exactly do you plan to be when I get back?

I agree with the boy: Where you goin', dawg? Don't move to New York when Megan and I decide to move to NoVa, or I will move back and punch you vigorously.

Welcome back!

PS - 2ECOND!

It just doesn't have the same ring...

Thanks for the comments gang.

My lovely lady is strongly leaning towards a service branch. So Texas first (if I understand her correctly) plus some time spent in HI, Germany, etc. I may spend a lot of time traveling. But my heart will always be in Burke.
