Quote of the Month: September 2016

Guess who's back?  Metaphorical speaking, of course, as I have been here for awhile now. Where is here?  Virginia Beach, VA.  It would be hard to believe that it's been over a year since my last post if it weren't for all the grammatical errors.  Obviously, I haven't been writing for a long time. (Can you say, "sentence fragments,"?)  Much has happened since our return to America--new car, new house, new school, travel, old friends, new friends--you get the gist. I have many things to share for those who are interested in reading them.  I've written hundreds of blog entries in my head. I have yet to figure out how to telepathically transcribe them so for now, we'll all have to be content with my random pieces here and there. And unfortunately, I did not tell all the stories of our time in Japan as I had originally intended so going forward, don't expect my posts to have any chronological or thematic order to them. You get what you get.  (Just call me Forrest and enjoy my digital box of chocolate.)  I'm unapologetic in my lack of consistency and diligence to my blog.  My personal mantra can be traced back to John Lennon.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. - John Lennon, "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)"


I will make a concerted effort going forward to not have such big gaps of time between blog entries.  Until the next one, here is my beautiful boy.

Aaron, on the first day of school.
